No explicit benefits, schedule, etc. Terms of Employment: 185 days (that's schedule? maybe schedule length). Could treat as Schedule? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. Terms of Employment: 185 days is specific. Could be considered Schedule? Might be better to put under "Schedule" heading? But they said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map content: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities (essential duties + other duties), Requirements (job specifications?), Qualifications (minimum qualifications), Skills (knowledge, skills and abilities list), Pay (pay grade), Schedule (terms of employment 185 days). Benefits: none, so omit.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Also do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. There's none.
We need to output only HTML fragment.

We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Reasonable accommodations may be made..." that's okay as it's part of requirements. Also we kept "Please click here for salary scales." That's a link instruction but it's part of posting; we keep as is. Check duplication: We have "Performs any other related duties as assigned by the Principal or other appropriate administrator." appears both in essential duties list and other duties; we included only once in responsibilities list. We have not included Benefits section because none. Check that we didn't repeat job title as heading: we didn't. Check that we didn't include Job ID/requisition numbers: none. Check that we didn't include any placeholder like "commensurate with experience": none. Check that we didn't invent or summarize away detail: we kept all details.

Physical Requirements we made its own heading but not in the list of allowed headings; but the instruction says use
