We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "ABOUT CPS" and description. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content: About CPS (mission, etc.) could be "About the role"? Actually "About CPS" is about organization, not role. But we can treat as "About the role" maybe. The posting includes "Position Title: Diverse Learners Teacher" but we should not repeat job title as heading. We can include a short paragraph with metadata like posting date, location, salary range? Salary range is present, so we can create Pay section with that. Benefits section present. Responsibilities: there are "Specialty Functions" and "Essential Functions" which are duties. So we can make Responsibilities section with those bullet points. Requirements/Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications & Requirements includes bachelor's degree, CPS online app, valid teaching license, physical requirements, employment expectations (residency, background checks). Also there are "Specialty Functions" includes license endorsement LBS1 etc. So we can combine into Requirements/Qualifications. Skills: maybe not explicit separate; but we have skills like communication, interpersonal, etc. Could be part of Responsibilities or Qualifications. We could create Skills section if there is explicit list. There's "Exhibit excellent oral and written communication skills, strong interpersonal skills, and exercise sound, professional judgment". That's skill. Could be included under Skills. Schedule: not mentioned. So omit Schedule. Pay: we have Salary Range. Benefits: we have Benefits section with subpoints. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove those paragraphs. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary range, so Pay section is okay. We need to use

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

    for prose. We need to decide how to structure. Potential sections: - About the role (maybe include mission and about CPS) - Responsibilities (Specialty Functions + Essential Functions) - Requirements (Minimum Qualifications & Requirements) - Skills (maybe communication etc.) - Benefits - Pay We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

    Diverse Learners Teacher

    . We need to include metadata like posting date, location maybe as a short

    before sections? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with Posting Date and Primary Location. Not as heading. We must not include application instructions (none present). Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. So we need to strip those paragraphs. Let's extract substantive content: ABOUT CPS: We are an urban district on the rise.
