We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Title: Special Education (SPED) Teacher $5,000.00 sign-on bonus for fully licensed Teacher; $2500 sign-on bonus for license-eligible! (But we should not repeat job title as heading; we can include sign-on bonus maybe in Benefits or Pay? It's a bonus, could be part of Benefits or Pay. The posting mentions "competitive pay" but no specific numbers. It says "Salary is competitive and commensurate to education and years of experience." That's not specific, so we should NOT create Pay section because it's not specific (commensurate with experience). So we omit Pay.
- Schedule: "Work days are Monday thru Friday, additional hours as needed. This is a year-round teaching position." That's specific enough for Schedule section. So we can include Schedule.
- Benefits: They list many benefits: "full benefits, generous paid time off, competitive pay." Then later: "Liberty Point offers great employee benefits, including but not limited to: A Challenging and Rewarding Work Environment Competitive Compensation & Generous Paid Time Off Excellent Medical, Dental, Vision, & Prescription Drug plans 401(k) Retirement Plan with Company Match & Discounted Stock Purchase Plan SoFi Student Loan Refinancing Program Career Development Opportunities within UHS and its subsidiaries Employee Assistance Program Meals Provided while on the Job". Also sign-on bonus could be considered benefit. So we can include Benefits section with list.
- About the role: The description about the facility, mission, etc. That's about the role/organization. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the role" heading. We'll include About the role with paragraphs.
- Responsibilities: The bullet list of duties: Provide developmentally appropriate classroom instruction..., Implement the Behavioral Program..., Assess students’ academic achievement..., Maintain consistent communication..., Participate in professional development..., Display a high degree of professionalism... That's responsibilities.
- Requirements: The "Candidate Requirements" section: Minimum of a Bachelor's Degree in Education, Hold a current Virginia or out-of-state teaching licensed in Special Education or General Curriculum K-12; or hold a Special Education conditional license with plans to fulfill the requirements to obtain a Special Education professional license, Must be at least 21 years of age, Preferred: At least three years of experience in a classroom situation, Preferred: Hold a current VA Driver's License. Also maybe "Job Requirements" list is more like duties? Actually "Job Requirements" after Candidate Requirements seems to be more responsibilities? Let's see: after Candidate Requirements they list "Job Requirements Provide developmentally appropriate classroom instruction..." That seems like responsibilities again. Actually the posting has duplication: "Candidate Requirements" then "Job Requirements" which are duties. Then "Special Education Teachers Should Possess Knowledge Of ..." then "Skills To ..." then "Qualifications Successful Candidate(s) must be able to:" which includes physical requirements etc. So we need to categorize.
We need to avoid duplicate content. We'll gather unique substantive info.
Let's extract sections:
About the role / organization: Paragraphs describing Liberty Point Behavioral Healthcare, location, mission, patient population, etc.
Responsibilities: The list of duties (Provide developmentally appropriate classroom instruction..., Implement the Behavioral Program..., Assess students’ academic achievement..., Maintain consistent communication..., Participate in professional development..., Display a high degree of professionalism...). Also maybe the "Job Requirements" list duplicates same duties; we should not duplicate.
Requirements: Minimum education, licensing, age, preferred experience, preferred driver's license. Also maybe "Must be at least 21 years of age". Also "Hold a current Virginia or out-of-state teaching licensed..." etc.
Qualifications: The list under "Qualifications Successful Candidate(s) must be able to:" includes physical lift, body motion, Handle With Care training, CPR/First Aid, reflect behavior, communicate verbally/written, maintain confidentiality. Also maybe "Successful Candidate(s) must be able to:" is qualifications.
Skills: The list "Special Education Teachers Should Possess Skills To Present effective lessons Organize and plan instruction Establish classroom expectations and hold students accountable for meeting them Manage classroom behavior effectively Maintain positive relationships with students and co-workers". Also knowledge list maybe could be under Skills or Knowledge. But we have a heading Skills; we can include that list.
Knowledge: The list "Special Education Teachers Should Possess Knowledge Of Subject matter to be taught (Va Standards of Learning) Theories of learning and teaching (modifications & accommodations) Stages of learning Effective teaching methods Assessment principles and types Cognitive/Behavioral/Social Learning theories and principles Effective classroom management techniques Methods for observation/data collection". Could be a separate section but we only have headings for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. No Knowledge heading. Could embed knowledge under Skills or Requirements? Probably better to put under Skills as part of skills/knowledge. But we have separate Skills heading; we could include both knowledge and skills under Skills as a combined list. Or we could create a separate section "Skills" and include both knowledge and skills bullet points. That's acceptable.
Benefits: list as above.
Schedule: Monday-Friday, additional hours as needed, year-round.
We should not include Pay section because no specific numbers.
We should not include duplicate lines.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no markdown.
We'll produce something like:

Schedule
Work days are Monday through Friday, with additional hours as needed. This is a year‑round teaching position.
We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract each piece precisely.
