We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes "Role Mission:" etc. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse content. First, "Role Mission: IDEA Special Education teachers are responsible for the achievement and support of special education..." This is about the role. So we can put under

About the role

with paragraph(s). Then "What We Offer" includes compensation, benefits, etc. We need separate sections: Pay (compensation), Benefits (benefits). Also maybe Schedule? Not mentioned. There's mention of "Minimum of 40+ hours spent at school per week" maybe schedule? Could be schedule. But schedule is about hours. Could include under Schedule if we have content. However we should only include if posting actually states them. It does state minimum 40+ hours per week. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Also there is "Service Record Requirement" which is a qualification? Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. Also "Additional hourly compensation is provided for after school tutoring or Saturday school as assigned." That's compensation detail. Also "Other Benefits" list. Qualifications: Education, Experience, Licenses or Certifications. Skills: Knowledge And Skills list. Responsibilities: "What You’ll Do -- Accountabilities" list. Also "Supervisory Responsibilities (if Applicable)" maybe part of responsibilities. Also "We look for Team and Family who embody the following values and characteristics:" could be under Requirements? Might be values but not required. Could be omitted. Also "About IDEA Public Schools" and "Staff Experience" maybe not needed as they are boilerplate? Might be considered about organization but not required. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. About IDEA Public Schools might be considered boilerplate? It's descriptive about the organization; not strictly required but could be considered part of "About the role"? Might be okay to include under About the role? But we already have role mission. Could add a paragraph about IDEA under About the role? Might be considered extra but not prohibited. However we should preserve ALL substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we should include that info somewhere. Could be under About the role or maybe a separate section like "About IDEA". But we only allowed headings from list. Could put under About the role as additional paragraph. Similarly "Staff Experience" maybe not needed. We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract content. Role Mission paragraph: "IDEA Special Education teachers are responsible for the achievement and support of special education. Special Education teachers develop individualized plans and work with students who have a wide range of learning, cognitive, emotional, and physical disabilities. They provide in-class support for various subjects, such as reading, writing, and math, to students with outlined service minutes support.

Pay section: include starting salary, stipends, performance-based, service record requirement, additional hourly compensation. Schedule: "Minimum of 40+ hours spent at school per week". Also maybe after-school tutoring or Saturday school as assigned (but that's compensation). So schedule section can include that.
