We need to output HTML fragment with sections only when content present. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to parse the posting. We have description: "Transportation Director This posting is for positions supporting Eaton RESA and Potterville Public School with route assignment opportunities in Charlotte, MI. Benefits packages are available to eligible employees. Employer contribution levels vary based on established qualifying factors. A 401(k)-retirement plan is available after completion of one (1) year of service, contingent upon satisfying all other eligibility requirements. Employees play a vital role in contributing to a positive and meaningful experience for students/passengers every day." Then "SUMMARY OF POSITION Provide direction, support, and oversight to office staff, school bus drivers, attendants and/or monitors at a Dean operation center to ensure safe and reliable transportation of students and other passengers as well as support to local school district(s). Driving a school bus may be required, as needed." Then "Specific Requirements" list. Then "SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES" list. Then "ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES (WHEN APPLICABLE)" list. Then "SPECIFIC ABILITIES" list. Then "DRIVING PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS" paragraph. Then "BODY MECHANICS OF SCHOOL BUS DRIVER" paragraph. We need to map to sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (specific responsibilities + additional responsibilities maybe), Requirements (specific requirements?), Qualifications (maybe high school diploma etc?), Skills (specific abilities?), Benefits (benefits packages, 401k), Pay (none), Schedule (none). We should only include sections with real content. We have Benefits: "Benefits packages are available to eligible employees. Employer contribution levels vary based on established qualifying factors. A 401(k)-retirement plan is available after completion of one (1) year of service, contingent upon satisfying all other eligibility requirements." That's specific enough. Pay: Not mentioned. So omit Pay section. Schedule: Not mentioned. Omit. Now we need to decide headings: About the role (summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits. We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract content. About the role: Could be the SUMMARY OF POSITION paragraph plus maybe the initial description? The initial description: "Transportation Director This posting is for positions supporting Eaton RESA and Potterville Public School with route assignment opportunities in Charlotte, MI. Benefits packages are available to eligible employees. Employer contribution levels vary based on established qualifying factors. A 401(k)-retirement plan is available after completion of one (1) year of service, contingent upon satisfying all other eligibility requirements. Employees play a vital role in contributing to a positive and meaningful experience for students/passengers every day." That includes benefits but we will put benefits separately. For About the role we can include the summary and maybe the initial description minus benefits? But we should preserve all substantive info. We could put the initial description (excluding benefits) in About the role, and then Benefits section separate. Let's parse: Initial paragraph: "Transportation Director This posting is for positions supporting Eaton RESA and Potterville Public School with route assignment opportunities in Charlotte, MI. Benefits packages are available to eligible employees. Employer contribution levels vary based on established qualifying factors. A 401(k)-retirement plan is available after completion of one (1) year of service, contingent upon satisfying all other eligibility requirements. Employees play a vital role in contributing to a positive and meaningful experience for students/passengers every day." We can split: The first sentence about posting supporting Eaton RESA etc. Then benefits sentences. Then employees play vital role. We could put the first sentence and the employees sentence in About the role. Benefits separate. Thus About the role content: "This posting is for positions supporting Eaton RESA and Potterville Public School with route assignment opportunities in Charlotte, MI. Employees play a vital role in contributing to a positive and meaningful experience for students/passengers every day." Also maybe include the SUMMARY OF POSITION? Actually SUMMARY OF POSITION is more detailed about role. So About the role could combine the initial description and SUMMARY OF POSITION. Let's craft About the role: "This posting is for positions supporting Eaton RESA and Potterville Public School with route assignment opportunities in Charlotte, MI. Provide direction, support, and oversight to office staff, school bus drivers, attendants and/or monitors at a Dean operation center to ensure safe and reliable transportation of students and other passengers as well as support to local school district(s). Driving a school bus may be required, as needed. Employees play a vital role in contributing to a positive and meaningful experience for students/passengers every day." That seems good. Now Responsibilities: Combine SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES and ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES (WHEN APPLICABLE). We'll list as
  • items. We need to preserve all items. Let's extract SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES bullet points (they are sentences separated by periods). We'll convert each sentence to a list item. List: - Maintain a positive and professional relationship with student passengers, parents and guardians, contracting agency, Dean Transportation staff and the general public. - Establish safe and efficient transportation routes. - Supervise the performance of Dean Transportation employees; provide direction, leadership, counseling, recognition and discipline as appropriate. - Review and respond to passenger behavioral concerns. - Interview, select and process applicants through the established hiring procedures and maintain appropriate staffing levels. - Determine equipment and vehicle needs, including school bus seat configurations, wheel chair capacity and any other related equipment. - Work in a team culture which includes attending weekly conference calls, monthly supervisor meetings and annual supervisor in-service. - Prepare accurate billing information for field trips, mileage logs and student passenger attendance report. - Organizes and attend school bus training events. - Performs other duties as required. Note: "Organizes and attend" maybe grammar but keep as is. Now ADDITIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES (WHEN APPLICABLE) list: - Supervisors may be required to drive a school bus route and/or assist with dispatching when needed. - Responsibilities for school bus driving include: - Conduct pre-trip and post-trip inspections of your assigned vehicle as required. - Use established routes and designated bus stops. - Conduct emergency evacuation drills as required. - Instruct passenger riders regarding safety. - Drive defensively under varying traffic conditions and inclement weather. - Drive with safety of passengers as first priority. - Establish favorable working relationships with other drivers, office and maintenance personnel, bus attendants and monitors, passengers, parents, teachers, principals, and total school or program staff. - Achieve self-improvement by attending training sessions, annual in-service, and workshops conducted by Dean Transportation and/or other approved agencies. We could flatten: include the main bullet and sub-bullets as separate items. Probably okay to keep as separate items. Now Requirements: "Specific Requirements" list. Extract: - Meet all general qualifications for employment. - Possess a high school diploma or equivalent. - Possess experience in the school bus industry or transportation field. - Possess prior supervisory or management experience. - Meet company and state standards for driving record check. - Meet company, state, and school district standards for criminal history check. - Meet Federal DOT guidelines and physical examination requirements. - Pass drug and alcohol screening as established by company. - Meet Michigan School Bus Supervisory Continuing Education Requirements. - Successfully pass Dean Transportation School Bus Driver Training Program, including: - Classroom instruction - Behind the wheel instruction - Written and driving skills test - Meet Michigan School Bus Driver Certification Requirements, including: - Minimum hours of instruction - Satisfactorily pass knowledge examination - Meet local, county, and state standards for driving skills test. - Meet state requirements for appropriate commercial vehicle licensing. We can flatten sub-items. Now Qualifications: Might overlap with Requirements. But we need to decide which heading to use. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real, specific content. We have both Requirements and Qualifications content? The posting has "Specific Requirements" and also maybe "Specific Abilities" could be Skills. There's no explicit "Qualifications" section besides requirements. But we could treat "Specific Requirements" as Qualifications? However we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings available. We need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we put the list under Requirements, and Qualifications we could omit if no distinct content. But we have "Specific Abilities" which could be Skills. So we can map: - Requirements: Specific Requirements list. - Skills: Specific Abilities list. - Qualifications: maybe we could combine high school diploma etc? But those are already in Requirements. To avoid thin sections, we could omit Qualifications if content already covered under Requirements. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can keep it under Requirements. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one heading? But headings are fixed list; we can choose to use either Requirements or Qualifications, not both. Since we have content for both, we could put the requirement list under Requirements, and maybe put nothing under Qualifications (omit). That seems okay. Now Benefits: we have content. Now Skills: Specific Abilities list. Let's extract Specific Abilities bullet points (sentences): - Proficiency with computers, multi-line phone systems and office equipment. - Demonstrate an excellent attendance record. - Demonstrate the ability to work effectively in a team setting. - Demonstrate effective verbal and written communication skills. - Demonstrate effective organizational and interpersonal skills. - Demonstrate the ability to work in a fast-paced environment. - Demonstrate effective and efficient problem solving. - Work independently and efficiently. - Supervise and evaluate performance of assigned staff. - Travel occasionally to other Dean Transportation operations, primarily within regional service area. - Plan, organize and direct school bus transportation services. - Competently handle a number of tasks at one time. - Positively advocate Dean Transportation to others. - Identify with geographic service area of school district and routes assigned to the local Dean Transportation operation. - Demonstrate knowledge of rules and regulations promulgated by local, state, and federal agencies. - Demonstrate knowledge of state laws and local ordinances. - Deal with exuberant behavior characteristics of student passengers. - Administer disciplinary procedures in keeping with company policies. - Be alert and exercise good judgment concerning emergencies and day-to-day operations. - Successfully conduct a bus evacuation drill as required by company management. - Keep accurate records and reports as required, submit in a legible condition, and turn in at the specified time. - Conduct yourself as a professional Dean Transportation staff member at all times. - Operate all vehicle lifts as prescribed in company policy. - Secure all equipment that is required for each passenger as prescribed in company policy. - Be able to lift, store, and disassemble/assemble wheelchairs of a maximum weight of 40 pounds and/or other ambulatory devices required by the passenger. Now Driving Performance Evaluations and Body Mechanics sections: These are not covered by headings; we could possibly include them under Responsibilities or Skills? They are more about driving performance and physical requirements. Could be part of Requirements (physical) or Skills. But we have no heading for them. We could incorporate them into Requirements (physical) or Skills (physical abilities). Since we already have Requirements list, we could add items from those sections to Requirements. However the instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to include that info somewhere. We can add them as list items under Requirements (maybe under a subheading? but we cannot add new headings). We can just add them as list items under Requirements. Similarly, Driving Performance Evaluations: "Driving performance evaluations are performed continuously as part of company safety training. Supervisors may be subjected to customized driving
