We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Must include headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use

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

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short

    or drop it. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. We need to extract substantive content: The posting includes: - Job title: Teacher of Blind and Low Vision Learners (TBLVL) – Classroom Teacher (but we don't repeat as heading) - Employer: State of Washington (School for the Blind) - Salary: $57,898.00 - $109,132.00 Annually - Location: Clark County – Vancouver, WA - Job Type: Seasonal - Opening Date: 08/12/2026 - Closing Date: 9/1/2026 at 3:49 PM Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana (but note it's filled) - Description: includes mission, core purpose, etc. - Benefits: Not explicitly listed? There's a Benefits Description section but it's about accommodation contact. Actually there is a "Benefits Description" heading but content is about accommodation. There's also later: "WSSB offers an employee and student-focused, mission-driven environment..." plus mention of campus amenities. Also "Teachers are not eligible for the vacation or holidays listed in the Benefits tab." So benefits are not detailed; we have some mention of benefits: employee-focused environment, campus amenities, fitness center, pool, rock climbing wall, track & field, auditorium, braille center, low vision clinic, LIFTT program offering dorm-style housing. Also mention of union inclusion. However we need to see if there is actual benefits content. The posting includes a "Benefits Description" but it's about accommodation request. That's not benefits. Later there is a paragraph: "WSSB offers an employee and student-focused, mission-driven environment that empowers blind and low vision individuals to reach their full potential. Our beautiful 13.2-acre campus is on the National Register of Historic Places and not only includes state-of-the-art classrooms but a fitness center with saline pool and floor-to-ceiling rock climbing wall, track & field, auditorium, braille center, low vision clinic, LIFTT program offering dorm-style housing and much more!" That could be considered benefits/perks. Also mention of union inclusion. So we could create a Benefits section with that content. Pay: Salary range given. So we need Pay section. Schedule: Not explicitly given besides "Seasonal" and "180 days per school year with days distributed year-round." Also mention of "Teachers are not eligible for the vacation or holidays listed in the Benefits tab." Not a clear schedule like full-time, part-time, shift. Could we create Schedule section? The posting mentions "Seasonal" job type, and "180 days per school year with days distributed year-round." That's somewhat schedule info. We could include Schedule section with that detail. However we must not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does state job type Seasonal and mention of 180 days per school year. That's schedule-related. So we can include Schedule. Now sections: About the role (overview/mission), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe required education/experience), Skills (maybe preferred?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to avoid duplication. Let's parse content. About the role: Could include mission statement, core purpose, description of school, what they seek. Use prose. Responsibilities: Duties list (the bullet points under Duties). We'll convert to

    • . Requirements: Might be the "Required Education, Experience, and Competencies" list. That's qualifications. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications sections. The instruction says use headings for those if content present. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements could be mandatory qualifications; Qualifications could be preferred? But we have both Required and Preferred sections. We could put Required under Requirements, Preferred under Qualifications. Or we could combine. Let's follow: Requirements = Required Education, Experience, and Competencies. Qualifications = Preferred/Desired Education, Training And/or Competencies. Skills: Could be derived from abilities like communication, conceptual skills, etc. But those are already in Required list. Might be redundant. Better to not create Skills if no distinct content. We'll only create sections with substantive content. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Now we need to extract content precisely, preserving all substantive info, not inventing or summarizing away detail. Must not omit details. However we must avoid boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal. Also remove the "How to apply" etc. Also remove the "Supplemental Information" about how to apply, union inclusion, opportunity for all statement (that's EEO). Also remove the logo description. Also remove the "Note: The VSD salary schedule is reviewed annually..." maybe that's part of Pay? It's about salary schedule; could be included in Pay section as extra detail. But we must preserve all substantive info; we can include that note in Pay section. Also remove the "This posting will be open for a minimum of 7 days but will close once filled." etc. That's boilerplate? It's about posting duration; maybe not essential but could be considered metadata. The instruction says remove duplicated lines, application instructions. This is not application instruction but maybe still considered boilerplate. Safer to drop it. Also remove the "This posting closed as of 09/01/2026 @ 3:49PM as it has been filled." That's meta; drop. Also remove the "Persons with a disability requiring reasonable accommodation..." that's EEO/accommodation statement; remove. Also remove the "Logo: Silhouette..." etc. Also remove the "Opening Date 08/12/2026 Closing Date 9/1/2026 at 3:49 PM Pacific Time (US & Canada); Tijuana" maybe we can keep as minor metadata in a short

      but instruction says 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 with location, job type, salary, etc. But we already have Pay, Schedule sections. Might be redundant. Better to drop minor metadata or incorporate into About the role? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

      or drop it." So we can include a short

      for things like employer, location, job type, maybe opening/closing dates. But we already have sections for Pay, Schedule. Could still include a short

      for employer and location. However we must not create sections with filler. We'll include a short

      after the heading? Actually we need to output only HTML fragment; we can start with a

      containing employer, location, job type. Then headings for sections. But we must not repeat job title as heading; we can still mention it in prose. Let's structure:

      Employer: State of Washington – School for the Blind. Location: Clark County – Vancouver, WA. Job Type: Seasonal.

      Then sections:

      About the role

      ... mission description ...

      Responsibilities

      • ... each duty ...

      Requirements

      • ... required qualifications ...

      Qualifications

      • ... preferred/desired ...
      • Benefits

... description of campus amenities, employee-focused environment, union inclusion maybe.

Pay

Salary range: $57,898.00 - $109,132.00 annually. Note: The VSD salary schedule is reviewed annually and is under consideration for the 2026-27 school year with wage increases possible effective 09/01/2026.

Schedule

Position is seasonal, with 180 work days per school year distributed year-round.

We must ensure we preserve all substantive info from duties, qualifications, etc. Let's extract them precisely. From Duties section: "Specially Designed Instruction & Curriculum Access: Plan, deliver, and monitor direct, specially designed instruction in math, reading, writing, and other core content areas, aligned to state standards, grade-level curriculum, and individual IEP goals. Adapt and convert curriculum and materials into accessible formats, implement evidence-based instructional strategies and interventions, and adjust instruction based on progress-monitoring data." "Expanded Core Curriculum & Assistive Technology: Provide embedded instruction in the Expanded Core Curriculum tied to core subject areas, alongside specialized instruction addressing individual disability-specific needs. Provide direct, effective instruction in assistive technology (e.g., screen readers, braille displays/notetakers, magnification software, optical character recognition), and support students' use of braille and other accessible learning modes consistent with each student's Learning Media Assessment." "Safe & Responsive Learning Environment: Plan and deliver small-group instruction using evidence-based engagement practices; create and maintain a safe, organized classroom environment conducive to learning; proactively manage student behavior; and participate in state and school testing requirements, including administering accessible test formats and accommodations." "IEP Advocacy & Progress Monitoring: Serve as an advocate and contributing member of the IEP team in developing and monitoring IEPs for the caseload of students. Collect and analyze progress data, write and distribute progress reports, ensure compliance with IDEA and district timelines, and contribute to IEP meetings, reevaluations, and transition planning." "Collaboration & Paraeducator Support: Collaborate with teachers to co-plan instruction, outcomes, and embed accommodations that support access to the effective growth for students. Direct, train, and supervise paraeducators supporting students in the classroom, and collaborate with school staff and families on strategies to support student behavior and classroom goals." "Professional Learning & Compliance: Participate in staff meetings, planning events, and grade-level/department/PLC/job-alike meetings. Engage in ongoing professional development related to specially designed instruction, braille and low vision pedagogy, assistive technology, and special education compliance. Maintain accurate, complete, and confidential student records in accordance with agency policy, OSPI guidelines, and state/federal law." We need to preserve all that. We'll turn each bullet into
  • containing the full sentence(s). Might be long but okay. Now Required Education, Experience, and Competencies list: "Requires completion of a Bachelor’s Degree and valid Washington State teaching certificate in applicable content areas of instruction." "Must pass the Washington UEB Braille exam or equivalent requirement set forth by the Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB)." "Must be flexible, exhibit a commitment to accomplishment, possess outstanding communication and conceptual skills, demonstrate appropriate and positive student relationships, possess a strong professional orientation, and be willing to actively participate in a team environment."
