We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the description. First, there is a description block: "Job Description POSITION: Secondary Student Support Counselor REPORTS TO: Director of Student Support POSITION TYPE: 11-month START DATE: 26-27 School Year COMPENSATION: $65,264 - $83,419". Then a paragraph about mission etc. Then "Some Quick Stats About Us" list of stats. Then "THE ROLE" with bullet-like responsibilities separated by semicolons. Then "THE PERSON" with must haves, nice to haves, must have beliefs. Then "THE PERKS" with benefits details. We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe mission and quick stats?), Responsibilities (the role duties), Requirements (must haves?), Qualifications (education/credentials?), Skills (maybe abilities?), Benefits (the perks), Pay (compensation), Schedule (position type 11-month, start date). Also maybe include "About the role" as mission and quick stats. We must not create sections with placeholder text. So we need to ensure each section has substantive content. Let's extract: - About the role: Could include mission statement and quick stats. The posting says: "At YES Prep, work for a mission that impacts the life trajectory of students and their families. YES Prep creates pathways to extraordinary opportunity through best-in-class development, competitive compensation and benefits, and recognition for your impact. Grow as an authentic leader and be part of a high-performing, team-oriented culture." Then "Some Quick Stats About Us" list. So we can put that in About the role. - Responsibilities: The list under "THE ROLE" after "When you join the YES Prep team, some of the exciting work and responsibilities will include:" then a long sentence with semicolons separating duties. We need to convert to
  • items. We'll split by semicolon. Let's list responsibilities: 1. Establishing solution-focused procedures and data-driven practices to more effectively serve students, families, and staff; 2. Utilizing data in planning for positive school culture through social, emotional, and behavioral grade level/school-wide programming; 3. Employing YES Prep’s established system to input, review, and analyze individual and collective student data to assign relevant interventions; 4. Conducting quality assessments which offer professional impressions and lead to the development and implementation of evidence-based intervention methods which support student achievement; 5. Conducting individual and group counseling sessions; 6. Reporting concerns of abuse or neglect to appropriate agencies in a timely manner; 7. Identifying, reporting, and coordinating evidence-based interventions for targeted, at-risk students as outlined by Texas Education Agency (TEA), School Culture, and Compliance; 8. Coordinating team strategies in the identification and support of chronically absent students; 9. Consulting and collaborating with campus and system staff, parents/guardians, and community partners in a multidisciplinary approach to identify and reduce barriers to student achievement and persistence; 10. Establishing and maintaining community partnerships that can provide access and services to students, parents, and staff and make appropriate referrals; 11. Advocating consistently and proactively on behalf of students and families based on an understanding of and respect for various cultures and socioeconomic groups represented in the school and community; 12. Seeking and utilizing formal and informal feedback from multiple stakeholders to improve services and enhance professional growth; 13. Engaging all students and building positive relationship with appropriate professional and ethical boundaries; 14. Demonstrating high level of skills in micro and macro level crisis intervention and post-disaster support through assessment and response; 15. Maintaining accurate records in YES Prep’s established system while ensuring adequate safeguards for the privacy and confidentiality of information and records; 16. Pursuing continuous enhancement of knowledge and skills through supervision, outside professional development, and continuing education for appropriate licensure requirements; 17. Additional duties as assigned. We'll output each as
  • . - Requirements: Might be "MUST HAVES" list: Bachelor’s Degree, Master’s degree in Social Work or Counseling, hold LMSW, LCSW, LPC-I, LPC, or obtain within 6 months, Minimum of 1-year experience post internship in field of Social Work or Counseling, Belief in and commitment to mission and core value, Openness to giving and receiving frequent feedback, Ability to maintain emotional control under stress, Ability to work urgently in a fast-paced and results-oriented environment, Ability to juggle multiple tasks and initiatives at once, Demonstrated ability to work on a team, A dedication to learn, grow, and develop as a professional. We can put these under Requirements (or Qualifications). The spec says we have sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide mapping. Usually Requirements = must haves (education, experience). Qualifications = maybe credentials? Skills = abilities. But we can combine. However we must not create empty sections. We'll allocate: - Requirements: Education and experience (Bachelor’s, Master’s, licensure, 1-year experience). Could also include belief in mission? That's more of a trait. - Qualifications: Maybe the "MUST HAVES" beliefs and traits? Or we could put "THE PERSON" traits under Qualifications. - Skills: Abilities like ability to juggle multiple tasks, work on team, maintain emotional control, work urgently, etc. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's parse THE PERSON section: "The PERSON We seek staff with a multitude of backgrounds, talents, interests, and ideas. Certain traits consistently shine through for our most successful employees: passion for the mission, drive for results, care for students, resilience, and humility. Other traits needed and desired for this role are: MUST HAVES Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited four-year educational institutionMaster’s degree in Social Work or CounselingHold a LMSW, LCSW, LPC-I, LPC, or obtain one of these credentials within 6 months of employment (failure to secure credentials can result in termination) Minimum of 1-year experience post internship in the field of Social Work or Counseling Belief in and commitment to the mission and core value of YES Prep Public SchoolsOpenness to giving and receiving frequent feedbackAbility to maintain emotional control under stressAbility to work urgently in a fast-paced and results-oriented environmentAbility to juggle multiple tasks and initiatives at onceDemonstrated ability to work on a teamA dedication to learn, grow, and develop as a professional THE NICE TO HAVES Ability to juggle multiple tasks and initiatives at once THE MUST HAVE BELIEFS Belief in and commitment to the mission and core values of YES Prep Public Schools Desire to disrupt systemic status quos in education Willingness to go above and beyond to disrupt said status quos Passion to develop resiliency through a relentless pursuit of jaw-dropping results Conviction that high expectations + high accountability = high performance and high growth" We see duplication: "Ability to juggle multiple tasks and initiatives at once" appears both in MUST HAVES and NICE TO HAVES (same). We'll keep once. We need to extract substantive info. Let's structure: - About the role: mission paragraph + quick stats list. - Responsibilities: as above. - Requirements: Education and experience: Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree in Social Work or Counseling, licensure (LMSW, LCSW, LPC-I, LPC) or obtain within 6 months, Minimum 1-year experience post internship in Social Work or Counseling. - Qualifications: Belief in and commitment to mission and core values, Openness to feedback, Ability to maintain emotional control under stress, Ability to work urgently in fast-paced results-oriented environment, Ability to juggle multiple tasks and initiatives at once, Demonstrated ability to work on a team, Dedication to learn, grow, develop as a professional, Passion for mission, drive for results, care for students, resilience, humility (these are traits that shine through for successful employees). Also the MUST HAVE BELIEFS: belief in mission, desire to disrupt systemic status quos, willingness to go above and beyond, passion to develop resiliency, conviction that high expectations + high accountability = high performance and high growth. We might combine overlapping. - Skills: maybe specific counseling skills: Conducting quality assessments, individual/group counseling, crisis intervention, data-driven practices, etc. But those are responsibilities. Could also list skills like data analysis, case management, etc. However we might not need a separate Skills section if content overlaps. But we need to follow instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But we have headings defined; we can only use those headings if we have content. We could omit Skills if not enough distinct content. But we need to decide. We have Pay: compensation range $65,264 - $83,419. Schedule: Position type 11-month, start date 26-27 School Year (likely 2026-2027). So we can put Schedule. Benefits: The PERKS section includes compensation (but we already have Pay), health and supplemental insurance, retirement plans, paid time off, paid leave programming, professional development, award winning culture. We'll put Benefits section with those details (excluding compensation). We'll not repeat compensation. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc. At the end there is "YES Prep is an equal opportunity employer..." which is boilerplate; we should remove. Also remove "Some Quick Stats About Us" heading? We'll incorporate stats into About the role as a list. Now produce HTML. Structure:
