We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes Position Purpose (maybe About the role), Essential Functions (Responsibilities), Additional Duties (maybe also responsibilities), Equipment, Travel Requirements, Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (Skills/Qualifications), Physical and Mental Demands, Work Hazards (maybe not a standard heading; could be omitted or placed under Requirements?), Certification/License, Education, Experience, FLSA Status. We need to map to allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should not repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include sections for About the role (Position Purpose), Responsibilities (Essential Functions + Additional Duties maybe), Requirements (maybe Certification/License, Education, Experience, FLSA Status?), Qualifications (maybe Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities?), Skills (maybe overlapping). But we must avoid duplication and thin sections. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. Let's extract content: Position Purpose: Under the general supervision of the School Principal, to facilitate student success and growth in academic and interpersonal skills through implementing district-approved curriculum, documenting teaching and student progress/activities/outcomes; addressing specific educational needs of individual students, and by creating a flexible, safe and optimal learning environment; and providing feedback to students, parents and administration regarding student progress, expectations, goals, etc. Essential Functions: list of duties (multiple sentences). Additional Duties: Performs other related tasks as assigned by the Principal and other central office administrators as designated by the Superintendent. Note: The above description illustrates tasks and responsibilities. It is not meant to be all-inclusive in every task or responsibility. Equipment: Uses standard office equipment such as personal computers, printer, copy and fax machines, and telephone May be required to use student assistive equipment Travel Requirements: Travels to school district buildings and professional meetings as required. Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: list of knowledge and abilities. Physical and Mental Demands, Work Hazards: list. Certification/License: Arkansas State Certification as a special education teacher Education: Bachelors Degree from an accredited college or university Experience: Successful prior teaching experience for the appropriate grade levels preferred FLSA Status: Exempt No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Thus we should not create Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections because no specific content. We can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills maybe. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's think: We could combine Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities into Skills section. Requirements could include Certification/License, Education, Experience, FLSA Status. Physical and Mental Demands maybe could be part of Requirements? But not typical. Could be omitted? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must include Physical and Mental Demands, Work Hazards somewhere. Could be under Requirements (maybe as a subsection) but we only allowed headings from list. Could we create a separate section like "Requirements" and include that info? Yes, we can put Physical and Mental Demands under Requirements as part of the content (maybe as a
    ). That would preserve info. Similarly Equipment and Travel Requirements could be under Responsibilities? Or maybe under Requirements? But they are not exactly responsibilities. Could be under Responsibilities as part of job duties. But they are more like working conditions. Could be under Requirements? Might be okay. We need to ensure we don't create headings with filler. So we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills. We need to map content: About the role: Position Purpose paragraph. Responsibilities: Essential Functions (list) + Additional Duties (maybe as a bullet) + Equipment + Travel Requirements (maybe as bullet). We'll need to format as
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose we use

      . The Essential Functions is a list of duties; we can turn each sentence into a

    • . Additional Duties is a sentence; we can include as
    • . Equipment and Travel Requirements could be separate
    • items. Requirements: Certification/License, Education, Experience, FLSA Status, Physical and Mental Demands, Work Hazards. Could be a mix of prose and list. We'll make a
        for each item. Skills: Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities list. We must not repeat job title. No markdown. Let's craft. First, About the role:

        We should not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Check for any repeated content: We included Equipment and Travel under Responsibilities as list items. Good. We included Note about "The above description illustrates tasks and responsibilities..."? We omitted that note because it's boilerplate? It's a note that says it's not all-inclusive. Might be considered boilerplate but it's substantive? It's a disclaimer. The instruction says remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This note is not exactly legal but could be considered boilerplate. Safer to omit? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." This note is not exactly those categories, but it's a generic note. Might be okay to keep? However, it's not adding much. I'd consider it boilerplate-ish and could drop. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; does this note count as substantive? It's a disclaimer about the description not being all-inclusive. Might be considered substantive but it's generic. I'd lean to keep it? But we already have a Responsibilities section that includes the list; the note is just a comment. I'd drop it to avoid filler. Check for any other boilerplate: "Position Purpose" heading we used as About the role. Good. Check for any missing info: We didn't include "May be required to use student assistive equipment" we included in equipment bullet. Good. Check for "May occasionally be required to provide student behavior support by using appropriate restraint or seclusion techniques - for student safety purposes only" we included.
