We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. We need to parse the job description. We have: Job Title: Special Education Clerk (but we must not repeat as heading). Wage/Hour Status: Nonexempt (maybe not needed? It's metadata; we can fold into a short

or drop. Probably drop. Reports To: Principal (metadata) Pay Grade: Paraprofessional 035 (187 Days) (maybe pay? Not explicit pay amount; it's a grade. We should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It states pay grade but not actual salary. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. "Pay grade" maybe considered pay? It's not a specific salary; but it's still pay info. However they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting states "PAY GRADE: Paraprofessional 035 (187 Days)". That is a pay grade. Could be considered pay info. But they also said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay to include a Pay section with that info? However they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state pay grade, so we could include a Pay section with that. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is specific. Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's "187 Days" maybe indicates work days per year. That's schedule info (days per year). Could be considered schedule. But they said only if posting actually states them. It does state "187 Days". That could be schedule. However they might want to avoid schedule section unless explicit schedule like "Full-time, Monday-Friday". Not sure. Benefits: Not mentioned. Thus we could have sections: About the role (maybe from PRIMARY PURPOSE and general description), Responsibilities (Major Responsibilities And Duties), Qualifications (Minimum Education/Certification, Special Knowledge/Skills, Minimum Experience), Skills (maybe combine with Qualifications? But we can separate Skills if we have specific skills list). The posting includes "Ability to use the computer proficiently for word processing, email, and spreadsheets. Ability to work well with children with disabilities Ability to follow verbal and written instructions Effective communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills". That's skills. We could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But they want separate headings if content exists. We'll have Qualifications (education/certification, experience) and Skills (abilities). That seems fine. We also have Working Conditions (Mental Demands/Physical Demands/Environmental Factors). That could be a section maybe "Working Conditions" but not in allowed headings list. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No "Working Conditions". So we need to fold that info into existing sections, maybe under Responsibilities or About the role? Probably we can include under About the role or Responsibilities? The working conditions are not duties but conditions. Could be placed under About the role as additional context. Or we could drop it? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; cannot drop. So we need to incorporate it somewhere. We could add a section "Requirements" (allowed) to include mental/physical demands etc. Or we could add under Qualifications? But Qualifications is for education/experience. Requirements could be for other requirements like mental demands, etc. So we can use "Requirements" heading for those. Thus sections: - About the role: from PRIMARY PURPOSE and general description (Assist the educational diagnostician..., work under supervision...). - Responsibilities: list of duties (Maintain confidentiality, Keep accurate records..., Assist diagnostician..., Perform other duties..., Uphold and enforce..., Participate..., Work with special education staff..., Mail information..., Distribute information..., Maintain a roster..., Enter and maintain information...). - Qualifications: Minimum Education/Certification (Educational Aide I Paraprofessional Certificate, High School Diploma or GED) and Minimum Experience (Experience working with children/students, parents, or persons with disabilities; Experience in a clerical position). - Skills: Ability to use computer proficiently..., Ability to work well with children..., Ability to follow verbal/written instructions, Effective communication, interpersonal, organizational skills. - Requirements: Mental Demands/Physical Demands/Environmental Factors (must maintain emotional control, exercise reasoning, problem solving under stress, demonstrate ability to communicate effectively, interpret procedures, analyze data, frequent in-district travel, occasional in-state/national travel, occasional prolonged/irregular hours, safety contributions). Also maybe include Supervisory Responsibilities (Directly supervises none) and the ADA statement? The ADA statement is boilerplate? It's about compliance; might be considered legal boilerplate; we should remove EEO/legal boilerplate. The ADA statement is likely legal boilerplate; we should remove. Also "The information contained in this job description is for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and foregoing statements describe the general purpose and responsibilities assigned to this job and are not an exhaustive list..." That's legal boilerplate; remove. - Pay: Pay Grade: Paraprofessional 035 (187 Days). Could be included. - Schedule: Not explicitly given besides 187 Days (which is days per year). Could treat as schedule? Might be considered schedule. But we already used 187 Days in Pay. Could we put schedule as "187 days per year"? Might be redundant. Better to keep Pay section with grade and days; schedule maybe not needed. Since they said only create Schedule if posting actually states them. It does state "187 Days" under Pay Grade; that's more about contract length. Could be considered schedule but we already used it. I'd omit Schedule section. - Benefits: none. Thus output HTML with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Requirements, Pay. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's craft. About the role: combine PRIMARY PURPOSE and general supervision statements. PRIMARY PURPOSE: Assist the educational diagnostician and speech/language pathologist with the management of special education records. Work under the general supervision of the principal and the immediate direction of an educational diagnostician or speech/language pathologist. We can put that in a
