We need to output HTML fragment with sections only where content exists. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content.
Job posting includes: Primary Purpose (maybe About the role). Qualifications: Education/Certification, Special Knowledge/Skills, Experience. Responsibilities: Major Responsibilities And Duties with subcategories: Instructional Strategies, Student Growth and Development, Classroom Management and Organization, Communication, Other, Supervisory Responsibilities, Working Conditions.
We need to decide sections: About the role (Primary Purpose). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe Qualifications). Skills (Special Knowledge/Skills). Benefits, Pay, Schedule: none present, so omit.
We must not include headings with filler. So we will include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills. Possibly also Qualifications? But we have Requirements and Skills separate; we can combine? The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use those as appropriate. We have content for About the role (Primary Purpose). Responsibilities (Major Responsibilities And Duties). Requirements (Education/Certification, Experience). Skills (Special Knowledge/Skills). Qualifications maybe overlapping with Requirements; but we can treat Requirements as education/experience, Skills as special knowledge/skills. We'll not duplicate.

We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for each section we need to decide if content is list or prose. The Primary Purpose is a paragraph; we can put
. Responsibilities: we have multiple bullet-like sentences; we can make a
with each duty as - . Requirements: Education/Certification and Experience can be list items. Skills: Special Knowledge/Skills list.

"Provide special education students with learning activities and experiences designed to help them fulfill their potential for intellectual, emotional, physical, and social growth.

That's three sentences. We'll put in
.

- The foregoing statements describe the general purpose and responsibilities assigned to this job and are not an exhaustive list of all responsibilities and duties that may be assigned or skills that may be required.
We need to include all that. The last sentence is a note; we can include as part of Working Conditions list maybe as a separate
- or as a
after list. Since it's a statement, we can include as a
- or
. Probably as a
- within Working Conditions.
Now Requirements: Education/Certification: "Bachelor's degree from accredited university Valid Texas teaching certificate with required special education endorsements for assignments". That's two items maybe combine as one? We'll list as two

We should not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Check for any duplicated lines: we have not included metadata like Job Title, Wage/Hour Status, Reports to, Pay Grade, Dept./School, Length of Contract, Revised date. Those are minor metadata; we should fold into a short or drop. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we could include a short paragraph at top maybe with that metadata. But we already have About the role section; we could add a
before About the role containing that metadata. However they said "do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". So we can include a short
with metadata like "Wage/Hour Status: Exempt | Reports to: Principal | Pay Grade: Teacher Salary Schedule | Dept./School: Pre K - 12 | Length of Contract: 10.0/10.5/11.0/12 mos. | Revised: April 5, 2019". That seems appropriate.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; metadata is substantive? It's minor but we should include maybe as a short
. The instruction: "fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short
with that info.
Thus output:
Wage/Hour Status: Exempt | Reports to: Principal | Pay Grade: Teacher Salary Schedule | Dept./School: Pre K - 12 | Length of Contract: 10.0/10.5/11.0/12 mos. | Revised: April 5, 2019
Then About the role etc.
Make sure not to include any boilerplate like EEO etc. Already removed.
Now check that we haven't missed any responsibilities: The "Other" section includes a long sentence that includes "Comply with Case Manager Roles and Responsibilities General Employee Requirements Support and align work with the mission, vision, and beliefs of the district." That seems like a run-on; we need to keep it exactly as in text. Let's copy exactly:
"Comply with Case Manager Roles and Responsibilities General Employee Requirements Support and align work with the mission, vision, and beliefs of the district."
But the original text: "Comply with Case Manager Roles and Responsibilities General Employee Requirements Support and align work with the mission, vision, and beliefs of the district.Follow and support board policies in areas of related responsibility." Actually there is no period after district. We'll keep as is.
We need to split into separate list items for each bullet after "Other". The original list after "Other" includes:
- Participate in staff development activities to improve job-related skills.
- Keep informed of and comply with federal, state, district, and school regulations and policies for special education teachers.
- Compile, maintain, and file all physical and computerized reports, records, and other documents required.
- Attend and participate in faculty meetings and serve on staff committees as required.

. Responsibilities: we have multiple bullet-like sentences; we can make a

We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting.
