We need to output HTML fragment with sections: 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. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions). Also must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule only if posting actually states them. We have Salary Range given, so Pay section can be included. Schedule not mentioned, so omit Schedule. Benefits section present, include Benefits. About the role: we have "ABOUT CPS:" and description of mission etc. That's about the organization, maybe "About the role" could be the description of position? The posting includes "Position Title: Diverse Learners Teacher Under the supervision...". That's about the role. So we can have About the role section with that paragraph. Responsibilities: we have "Specialty Functions" and "Essential Functions". Those are duties/responsibilities. So we can put those under Responsibilities as a list. Requirements: we have "Minimum Qualifications & Requirements". That's qualifications. Could be Requirements section. Qualifications: maybe duplicate? We need to decide which sections to include. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine some. For example, we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including qualifications), Benefits, Pay. Skills maybe not explicitly listed; we could omit if no specific skills list. The posting mentions skills like "excellent oral and written communication skills, strong interpersonal skills, ...". Those could be considered Skills. But we could put them under Responsibilities or Requirements. To follow instruction, we could include Skills section if we have specific skill list. There is a list of skills: "Exhibit excellent oral and written communication skills, strong interpersonal skills, and exercise sound, professional judgment especially in interactions with administration, colleagues, families, and students". Also "Demonstrate a deep understanding of content, pedagogy, and student knowledge". Those are more like competencies. Could be Skills. But we might avoid too many sections. Perhaps we include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (including qualifications), Benefits, Pay. That's 5 sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Diverse Learners Teacher". Good. We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can rephrase? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That suggests we should keep the original wording, not paraphrase? It says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. It doesn't forbid rephrasing, but summarizing away detail is not allowed. So we should keep the details, maybe we can keep them as is but restructure into HTML. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes EEO statements at the end: "CPS is a drug and alcohol free workplace. It is the policy of the Board to prohibit unlawful discrimination..." That's EEO boilerplate; we should remove that. Also the "Concerns or Inquiries should be made to the Equal Opportunity Compliance Office Administrator..." etc. That's also EEO; remove. Also the "Posting Date Sep 16, 2026, 12:00:00 AM Primary Location North/Northwest Side-6206 North Hamlin Avenue (Hannah G Solomon School) Salary Range $64,469.94 to $82,839.39". That's metadata; we can include location and salary in appropriate sections (Pay, maybe location in About the role?). The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include location and posting date maybe in a short paragraph under About the role or separate? Probably we can include location and posting date in a short

after About the role heading. But we must not create a heading for them. So we can add a

with that info. We must not include application instructions (like "Complete the CPS online application...") but that is in Minimum Qualifications & Requirements: "Completion of the CPS online application and teaching profile at cps.edu/teach". That's a requirement, not just application instruction? It's a requirement for applicants. It's substantive; we should keep it as part of Requirements. We must not include duplicated lines. There's some duplication? Not obvious. Now craft HTML. Structure:

Then Responsibilities:

  • Advocate for the district’s vision and commit to our district’s common themes of equity, cultural competence, high expectations, developmental appropriateness, attention to individual students (including those with special needs), appropriate use of technology, and student assumption of responsibility
But note: Some of these are actually requirements/qualifications, like "A valid teaching license issued by the Illinois State Board of Education, endorsed in LBS1". That is a requirement. However it's under Specialty Functions. We could keep it there; it's still a responsibility? Might be better to move to Requirements. But we need to preserve all info; moving is okay as long as we keep the content. The instruction didn't forbid moving content between sections as long as we preserve. However we should avoid misrepresenting. But it's okay. We also have Minimum Qualifications & Requirements section: we can put under Requirements. Let's create Requirements section:

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree or higher from a regionally accredited institution of higher education
  • Completion of the CPS online application and teaching profile at cps.edu/teach
  • A valid teaching license issued by the Illinois State Board of Education, with the appropriate endorsement(s) for the role - information on obtaining a valid teacher license can be found at isbe.net/licensure

  • All new hires must satisfactorily complete all CPS on boarding requirements which include, but are not limited to, passing a tuberculosis test, drug test and state and federal criminal background checks.
  • CPS is a drug and alcohol free workplace.
But we need to remove EEO boilerplate; we removed that. However "CPS is a drug and alcohol free workplace." is not EEO; it's a policy statement; we can keep. We also have Benefits section: we need to include Benefits as described. We have Benefits text: "Health & Wellness: Your Care, Your Choice CPS Is Committed To Providing Comprehensive Health Coverage To Our Employees And Their Eligible Dependents. You'll Have Access To a Variety Of Choices To Best Fit Your Needs Medical Plan Options Pharmacy Dental Vision Behavioral Health & EAP Employee Wellness Program Financial Security: Planning for Today and Tomorrow We understand the importance of financial stability, which is why CPS offers strong retirement and savings options: Basic Life Insurance Life and Disability Insurance Pension Plans Supplemental Retirement Plans (403(b) and 457(b)) Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) Spot Pet Insurance Work-Life Balance: Supporting Your Personal and Professional Life CPS values the well-being of its employees and offers competitive paid time off policies: Paid Leave Sick Leave Vacation Days Parental Leaves Short-Term Disability Religious Holidays Leaves Reference the Chicago Public Schools: A Comprehensive Benefits Overview or the benefits handbook for comprehensive details." We should keep that as a
  • maybe each bullet? But it's prose with colon headings. We could keep as

    but the instruction says use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Benefits is a list; we can turn each benefit category into
    • . However we must preserve all substantive information; we can break into list items. Let's parse: Health & Wellness: Your Care, Your Choice CPS Is Committed To Providing Comprehensive Health Coverage To Our Employees And Their Eligible Dependents.
