Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to decide which sections to include.

We need to remove boilerplate: copyright line maybe considered legal? It's not EEO but maybe we should drop it. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The copyright line is legal; we should drop it. Also the note "*Benefit plans and eligibility requirements may vary based on role and employment status." is a disclaimer; maybe we can keep as part of benefits? It's a note; but it's not substantive detail; maybe we can drop it.
We need to include sections only when there is real specific content.
We have Salary (Pay) specific: Starting Salary: $40,000 - $45,000 /year based on experience. That's specific, so we can include a Pay section.
We have Environment description: could be About the role or maybe a general description. We could put that under About the role (or maybe under a heading like "About the role").
We have Responsibilities list: we can make a Responsibilities section with
- .
We have Qualifications Required: we can make a Qualifications section (or Requirements). The instruction mentions Requirements, Qualifications, Skills as possible headings. We'll use Qualifications.
We have Perks and Benefits Include: we can make a Benefits section.
We also have additional descriptive paragraphs about the organization, mission, etc. That could be part of About the role or maybe a separate "About the organization". But we only have headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put the organization description under About the role (makes sense). The "As a Teacher, you will play a pivotal role..." is also role description; could be part of About the role.
We need to avoid duplication: The responsibilities list already includes many duties; the earlier paragraphs also mention delivering targeted instruction etc. We should preserve all substantive info, not summarize away detail. So we need to include those details somewhere. We could incorporate them into About the role prose, and then responsibilities list as separate bullet points.
We must not create sections with filler/placeholder text. All sections we create must have real content.

We should not include Schedule section because not specified.
We should not include Skills section separately; we could embed skills in qualifications but we already have qualifications.
We need to ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like copyright line. We removed that.
We also removed the link to learn more? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link is not boilerplate; it's informational. Should we keep it? It's part of the description about learning more about history, mission, program services. It's substantive. We could include it in About the role paragraph as a link. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep the link. We can embed it as an tag.
Thus modify About the role paragraph to include the link: "Learn more about our history, our mission and the program services we provide by visiting the link below: https://bit.ly/m/WorkWithPurpose". We'll make it a link.
