We need to include sections only if they have real specific content. We have: - About the role: we can include description of position (long-term sub, start/end dates, per diem rate, etc.) plus the mission statement about BPS. - Responsibilities: we have bullet list. - Qualifications: required and preferred. - Skills: core competencies list. - Pay: we have mention of per diem rate of pay, but not specific amount. The rule: do NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "All substitutes begin at the per diem rate of pay." That's stating they get per diem rate, but not a specific number. Is that considered stating pay? It says they begin at the per diem rate of pay. That's a statement about pay structure, albeit not a number. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state that they begin at per diem rate of pay. So we could include a Pay section with that statement. However we must avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is specific: per diem rate of pay. So we can include Pay section with a

stating that substitutes begin at the per diem rate of pay. - Schedule: we have start and end dates (10/13/2026 to 04/12/2027) and mention that start and end times of BPS schools vary, lengths of school day vary, some have longer day via Schedule A ELT. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with those details. - Benefits: not mentioned besides maybe per diem rate? No explicit benefits. So we should not create Benefits section. - Also we have "Terms: BTU, Group I". Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section? Not required heading. Could be included in About the role paragraph. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. Remove those. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must preserve all substantive information. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

Now ensure we didn't invent or summarize away detail. We preserved all. Check for any missing substantive info: The posting also mentions "Boston Public Schools seeks an exceptional Elementary and Special Education teacher with an SEI endorsement who is highly qualified and knowledgeable to join our community of teachers, learners and leaders. This is an exciting opportunity for teachers who desire to serve where their efforts matter. In BPS, the teachers and leaders are committed to the vision of high expectations for achievement, equal access to high levels of instruction, the achievement of academic proficiency for all students, and the closing of the achievement gap among subgroups within the schools. BPS is a great place for those who seek to work in an environment that supports their creativity and innovation, and respects their skills and abilities as a teacher." We included that in About the role. Also "Reports To: Principal/Head of School" we can include. Also "Terms: BTU, Group I" we didn't include. Should we include? It's substantive but not under a specific heading. Could be added to About the role paragraph as a note. Also "Please refer to the BPS website for more information on salary and compensation. Salaries are listed by Unions and Grade/Step." That's about pay but we already have Pay section. Could add a sentence referencing that salaries are listed by Unions and Grade/Step and refer to website for more info. That's substantive. Also "The start and end times of BPS schools vary, as do the lengths of the school day. Some BPS schools have a longer school day through the 'Schedule A' Expanded Learning Time (ELT) agreement." Already in Schedule. Also "All substitutes begin at the per diem rate of pay." Already in Pay. Also "For further information about becoming a BPS sub, please refer to our website (https://www.bostonpublicschools.org/old-homepage2/careers1/sub-central)." Include. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Boston Public Schools, in accordance with its nondiscrimination policies, does not discriminate..." Remove. Now produce final HTML.
