We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description paragraphs. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. We have: - Starting Salary: $70,304 - $75,000 /year based on experience => Pay section. - Environment description: "Special Education Program, Grades K-12 Spectrum Center Schools and Programs, a growing, dynamic organization..." This is about the role/environment. Could be About the role. - Responsibilities: listed after "Responsibilities Include:" with many bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We need to extract list items. - Qualifications Required: list of qualifications. - Skills? Not explicitly separate; qualifications include skills. Could combine under Qualifications. - Benefits: "Perks and Benefits Include:" list. - Schedule? Not mentioned explicitly; maybe "School Hours and Paid Holiday Schedule" is a benefit but not schedule details. No explicit schedule like full-time, part-time. So we should not create Schedule section. - Also there is mention of "Accrual-based Paid Time Off School Hours and Paid Holiday Schedule" but that's a benefit. Thus sections: About the role (environment description), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe combine required qualifications), Benefits, Pay. We need to use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. We need

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. At end there is copyright line etc; we should drop that. Also we need to preserve the link? Probably not needed as it's not substantive? It's a link to learn more; maybe considered boilerplate? It's not a duty/requirement/benefit. Could be considered part of About the role? Might be optional but we can keep as prose? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link is not those; it's more info. Might keep as part of About the role? But it's a link; we could keep as

    with anchor? However we are outputting only HTML fragment; we can include . Not prohibited. Keep it. We must not invent or summarize away detail: keep all specifics. Let's extract About the role prose: The paragraph after the salary and environment: "🏫 Environment: Special Education Program, Grades K-12 Spectrum Center Schools and Programs, a growing, dynamic organization with a social mission to offer hope, is seeking a Special Education Teacher to join our award-winning team and perform meaningful work in a culture that welcomes innovation, encourages creative expression and offers limitless potential for personal and professional satisfaction!
