We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc.

Also "Terms of Employment: Pay Grade 23 on the Classified Wage Structure (9 month) FLSA Status: NON-EXEMPT". So we have pay details. Should we include Pay section? Yes, we have specific pay ranges. Also maybe Benefits: "Employee/Employer retirement" and "Employer-paid retirement". Also "Terms of Employment: Pay Grade 23 on the Classified Wage Structure (9 month)". Could be considered Benefits? Might include Benefits section for retirement info. Also maybe Schedule: "9 month" indicates term of employment (school year). Could be schedule: 9-month position (school year).

- Responsibilities: Many duties listed under "Essential Duties And Responsibilities". We'll list as - items.
- Requirements: Education and Training: High school diploma or GED equivalent. Valid driver's license and DMV clearance. Licenses and Certifications: Must have ability to complete: Specialized training as needed to meet student needs as outlined in IEP's. Current Crisis Prevention and Restraint Training, First Aid, and CPR Training. Blood borne Pathogen and Universal Precaution Training. Also "Candidates must meet the minimum qualifications as listed on the appropriate position vacancy announcement." Also Physical and Mental Requirements: list many. Could be part of Requirements or Qualifications. We'll separate: Requirements (education, licenses, certifications). Qualifications (knowledge, skills, abilities). Skills: maybe list abilities like CPR/AED, Universal Precautions, ability to work effectively with special needs students, interpret instructions, prioritize, deal with behavior, learn school rules, complete routine records, recognize hazards, physical stamina, willingness to attend training, ASL expectations if assigned. Also "Ability to appropriately handle stress and interact with others..." etc.
We need to decide sections: About the role (position summary). Responsibilities (essential duties). Requirements (education, training, licenses). Qualifications (knowledge, skills, abilities). Skills maybe overlapping with Qualifications; but we can combine or separate. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might combine Qualifications and Skills into one section called "Qualifications". Or we could have Requirements and Qualifications. Benefits and Pay and Schedule separate if content.
Let's extract:
Position Summary (About the role): "Under the supervision of a licensed teacher, works in special education assisting teaching staff in a variety of activities to provide specially designed instruction to students with disabilities.

Now we need to output HTML fragment with
headings and - for lists,
for prose.
We must not include any boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. We have specific content.
