We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description, qualifications, essential functions, additional duties, equipment, travel requirements, physical and mental demands, terms of employment, evaluation, FLSA status, revision date, etc.
We must use for section headings: e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections have real content.
- About the role: could be description paragraph summarizing role. We have description: "Teacher Assistant" and description text: "The aide will support the educational and instructional goals of the teacher by assisting the teacher in planning and developing the individualized training program for the students." That's a prose. So we can put About the role with that paragraph.
- Responsibilities: essential functions list (duties). Use

- Responsibilities: essential functions list (duties). Use - .
- Requirements: qualifications (education, background check, etc). Use
- .
- Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; we have model good reading, writing, speaking skills; but that's part of duties. Could include as Skills section if we have content. The posting mentions "Model good reading, writing, and speaking skills for students." That's a skill. Also "Guide children in working and playing harmoniously". Might be considered skills. But we can include Skills if we have specific content. However we must not create sections with filler. We have some skill statements; we could put them under Skills.
- Benefits: not mentioned (salary N/A, benefits not given). So omit Benefits.
- Pay: salary N/A, so omit Pay.
- Schedule: terms of employment: 184 days annually. That's schedule info. So we can have Schedule section with that.
Also we might include "Equipment" maybe as part of Responsibilities? Not required headings. Could include under Responsibilities or separate but not in list of allowed headings? The allowed headings list includes those specific ones; we should only use those headings. So we cannot add Equipment heading. We can incorporate equipment info into Responsibilities or About the role.
Similarly travel requirements, physical and mental demands, evaluation, FLSA status, revision date: these could be placed under Responsibilities or maybe as a separate section like "Additional Information". But not allowed headings. We could incorporate them into Responsibilities or About the role as prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; we cannot drop details. So we need to embed all details somewhere within allowed sections.
Thus we need to include all details: qualifications, essential functions, additional duties, equipment, travel requirements, physical and mental demands, work hazards, terms of employment, evaluation, FLSA status, revision date, etc.
We can put many details under Responsibilities as a list (including essential functions, additional duties, equipment, travel, physical demands, etc). Or we could split into multiple sections: Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (qualifications), Schedule (184 days), and maybe About the role (general description). Then we can put other info (equipment, travel, physical demands, evaluation, FLSA status, revision date) as part of Responsibilities or About the role.
We must not invent headings; we can only use those given. So we will have:
About the role

Responsibilities

Requirements

Schedule
184 days annually.
We need to ensure we include all substantive info.
