for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Intro: "TEACH. EMPOWER. INSPIRE.

APPLY TODAY Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District Human Resources — Katie Dooley, Director of Human Resources Phone: 906-779-2651 Email: hr@diisd.org Posted until filled Equal Opportunity Employer recblid rj12wv658nihlbb2dg9yjf67y8rx67" We need to remove boilerplate: "Equal Opportunity Employer", "Posted until filled", contact info? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove contact info? It says remove application instructions. The contact info is part of application instructions? Probably yes. So we should drop the "APPLY TODAY ..." and contact lines. Also drop "Posted until filled". Also drop "Equal Opportunity Employer". Also drop the recblid etc. We need to preserve substantive information: intro, opportunity details (position, program, location, start date, position type, salary, benefits, employment status, contract, reports to). Also "YOUR IMPACT" paragraph. Then responsibilities list. Then qualifications (required qualifications). Then "We’re Looking For Someone Who..." (these are desired attributes/skills). Then the motivational paragraph about confidence etc. We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe intro + opportunity). Responsibilities (list). Qualifications (required). Skills (desired attributes). Benefits (we have benefits: Full benefits package available). Pay (salary range). Schedule? Not specified besides Full-Time, School Year. Could we treat Schedule as "Full-Time, School Year"? The posting says Position Type: Full-Time, School Year. That could be schedule. But we should only include Schedule if posting actually states them. It does state Full-Time, School Year. So we can include Schedule section with that detail. However we also have Position Type maybe part of About the role. But we can still include Schedule if we want. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Position Type into About the role, and not create a separate Schedule section unless needed. Since we already have About the role covering many details, we could omit Schedule. Benefits we have "Full benefits package available". That's specific enough to create Benefits section. Pay we have salary range. So we can have Pay section. Thus sections: About the role (intro + opportunity details), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay. We must not repeat job title as heading. So About the role heading is fine. We need to use

for section headings. Use

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

  for prose. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Let's craft. About the role: combine intro paragraph and opportunity details (position, program, location, start date, position type, salary? Actually salary goes to Pay section; we could still mention salary in About? Better to keep salary only in Pay section to avoid duplication. But we must preserve all info; we can mention salary in Pay section only. So About the role will include: intro paragraph, position, program, location, start date, position type (Full-Time, School Year), employment status, contract, reports to. Also maybe benefits? We'll put benefits in Benefits section. Thus About the role prose: combine sentences. Let's write:

  At Dickinson-Iron Intermediate School District, every student deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, build independence, and experience success.

  Then maybe a

  for the opportunity details: but we can keep as a paragraph. Opportunity details: Position: Teacher of Cognitively Impaired; Program: DIISD MoCI Program; Location: Norway-Vulcan Area Schools, Norway, MI; County: Dickinson County; Start Date: August 24, 2026; Position Type: Full-Time, School Year; Employment Status: Union, Exempt; Contract: Negotiated school calendar and in-service hours per the current Master Agreement; Reports To: Supervisor of Special Education.

    . We must not include Schedule section. Check for any duplicated lines: we have not repeated. Check for boilerplate removed: we removed contact, equal opportunity, posted until filled, recblid. Check for any leftover like "APPLY TODAY". Removed. Now ensure we preserve all substantive info: Did we miss anything? Let's list all substantive info from posting: - Intro paragraph (teach empower inspire etc.) - THE OPPORTUNITY block: Position, Program, Location, County, Start Date, Position Type, Salary, Benefits, Employment Status, Contract, Reports To, Application: Posted until filled (removed) - YOUR IMPACT paragraph: "You’ll create and deliver individualized educational experiences that help students develop skills across academics, communication, independence, social-emotional growth, and everyday life." - Responsibilities list (13 items) - What You Bring Required Qualifications list (5 items) - We’re Looking For Someone Who list (6 items) - MORE THAN A CLASSROOM paragraph (motivational) - READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE? paragraph (call to action) plus contact info (removed) - Equal Opportunity Employer (removed) - recblid (removed) We have not included the motivational paragraph "MORE THAN A CLASSROOM..." and the "READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?" call to action. Are those substantive? They are not boilerplate; they are part of the posting's marketing language. Should we preserve? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include them. They are not boilerplate; they are part of the posting's content. So we need to include them somewhere. Perhaps we can add a section "About the role" or maybe a separate section "Overview". But we only have headings for specific categories; we could add a

    after About the role for that motivational content. Or we could incorporate into About the role as additional paragraphs. We must not create sections with filler/placeholder text. These paragraphs are substantive, so we can include them as

    under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Overview". But we only have defined headings; we can still use

    for any section heading we want, but 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. So we could create a heading like "Overview" if we want, but better to stick to given examples to be safe. However we can also just put those paragraphs as

    without a heading, as part of About the role. Thus About the role will contain multiple

    elements: intro, opportunity details, impact statement, motivational paragraphs. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading; we are not. Now check if any info missing: Salary we put in Pay section. Benefits we put in Benefits section. Position Type we included in About the role. Employment status, contract, reports to included. Now check for any duplicated lines: we have not repeated. Now ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "Posted until filled" (we removed). Also removed contact info. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft:
