We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if there is real specific content. The posting includes many details: Primary Purpose, Qualifications (Education/Certification, Special Knowledge/Skills, Experience), Major Responsibilities And Duties (with subcategories: Instructional Strategies, Student Growth and Development, Classroom Management and Organization, Communication, Professional Growth and Development, General Employee Requirements, Supervisory Responsibilities, Working Conditions). Also includes some metadata: Job Title, Wage/Hour Status: Exempt, Reports to: Principal, Pay Grade: Teacher Salary Schedule, Dept./School: PreK - 12, Length of Contract: 10.0 mos. We must not repeat job title as heading. We should not include Job ID etc. We can include a short

for metadata like "Reports to: Principal; Pay Grade: Teacher Salary Schedule; Department/School: PreK‑12; Length of Contract: 10.0 months; Wage/Hour Status: Exempt." But we need to decide if we should include a section for these? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it." So we can put a

with that metadata. We need headings for sections: About the role? Not present. We have "Primary Purpose". Could map to "About the role" maybe? But instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should use those exact headings when appropriate. So we need to map content to these headings. We have Qualifications (Education/Certification, Special Knowledge/Skills, Experience). That's a Qualifications section. We have Responsibilities: Major Responsibilities And Duties with subpoints. So we can have a Responsibilities section. We have Skills? The Special Knowledge/Skills could go under Skills, but we already have Qualifications covering knowledge/skills. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section, or have separate Qualifications and Skills if content distinct. The posting includes "Special Knowledge/Skills" as a bullet list. Could treat as Skills section. But we also have Education/Certification and Experience under Qualifications. Might be better to have Qualifications (Education/Certification, Experience) and Skills (Special Knowledge/Skills). However, the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into one Qualifications section that includes education, certification, experience, knowledge/skills. That seems acceptable. We have no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule info. The posting includes Pay Grade: Teacher Salary Schedule, but not actual pay amount. Should we create a Pay section? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It states Pay Grade: Teacher Salary Schedule, which is a mention of pay grade but not actual pay. Is that enough? Likely not; they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." Stating a pay grade is stating something about pay, but it's not a specific amount. Might be considered stating pay info. However, they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting states Pay Grade: Teacher Salary Schedule. That is a statement about pay grade. So we could include a Pay section with that info. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". This is specific: Pay Grade: Teacher Salary Schedule. So we can include a Pay section with that. Schedule: Length of Contract: 10.0 mos. That's schedule info (contract length). So we can include a Schedule section. Benefits: not mentioned. So no Benefits section. We also have Working Conditions etc. Could be part of Responsibilities or a separate section like "Working Conditions". Not in the list of headings but we could still use a heading? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive list. Likely we should stick to those headings; other headings may be considered unnecessary. However, we have "Working Conditions" content that is substantive. Could we fold it into Responsibilities? Possibly under Responsibilities as a bullet about working conditions. But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we can include a section for Working Conditions if it's substantial. But the examples didn't list Working Conditions; but they said "e.g." meaning examples, not exhaustive. So we could add a Working Conditions heading if we think it's warranted. However, to be safe, we could incorporate Working Conditions into Responsibilities or General Employee Requirements. The posting includes "Working Conditions Mental Demands/Physical Demands/Environmental Factors:" as a bullet under Major Responsibilities And Duties? Actually it's after General Employee Requirements and Supervisory Responsibilities. It's a separate bullet. Could be considered part of Responsibilities (working conditions). So we can include it as a bullet under Responsibilities. Thus sections: Qualifications, Responsibilities, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also About the role (Primary Purpose). The Primary Purpose is a paragraph describing purpose. Could map to About the role. So we could have About the role section. Thus final sections: About the role, Qualifications, Responsibilities, Pay, Schedule. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting. Let's extract content: Primary Purpose: "Provide students with appropriate learning activities and experiences in the core academic subject area assigned to help them fulfill their potential for intellectual, emotional, physical, and social growth.

Metadata: - Job Title: Teacher (we won't repeat as heading) - Wage/Hour Status: Exempt - Reports to: Principal - Pay Grade: Teacher Salary Schedule - Dept./School: PreK - 12 - Length of Contract: 10.0 mos. - Approved by Date Reviewed by Date (we can drop as boilerplate) We need to include all substantive information. The "Approved by Date Reviewed by Date" is likely boilerplate; we can drop. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. We'll not include it. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

    But we separated Education/Certification, Special Knowledge/Skills, Experience. Could we keep them as separate subheadings? The instruction says use

    for section headings; we could use

    for subheadings? Not specified. Safer to keep as a single list. But we might lose some grouping nuance but still preserve all info. It's okay. Alternatively we could have

    Qualifications

    then

    Education/Certification: ...

    etc. But they said use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should use list for qualifications. Thus we list all qualification items as
    • . Now Responsibilities: we need to list all duties. Could group under subheadings but we can just list all items as a flat list. However, we might lose some structure but still preserve all info. The instruction: "Use
      • for any list
