Treasurer / Chief Financial Officer

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About The District" and "Position Summary". The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. 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. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a 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 the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role? The posting has "About The District" and "Position Summary". Could combine into "About the role"? But they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use those headings if content exists. Let's see: - About the role: we have "About The District" and "Position Summary". That's substantive. So we can create

  About the role

  and include paragraphs summarizing district description and position summary. - Responsibilities: we have a detailed list under "Responsibilities Aligned To The Ohio Standards For School Treasurers" with standards 1-5 each with bullet-like sentences. We can turn each standard's content into
  • items. Probably each bullet is a duty. We'll need to extract each duty as list items. The content includes multiple sentences per standard; we could split each sentence into separate
  • . But we can also keep each standard as a list item with multiple sentences. The instruction: use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a
      with each duty as
      • . We'll need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each duty exactly as written? Might be okay to keep each bullet as a sentence. Let's list duties from the posting: Standard 1 Fiscal Accountability and Financial Management: - Direct all district accounting, budgeting, payroll, purchasing, and cash management functions in accordance with Ohio law, Auditor of State requirements, and GAAP/GASB standards. - Prepare and present the five-year financial forecast (ORC 5705.391) and required updates, along with annual appropriations and the tax budget. - Prepare the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report or annual financial report and coordinate the annual audit with the Auditor of State. - Ensure accurate and timely reporting through EMIS, the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, and other state and federal agencies. - Manage and account for all federal, state, and local grants, including compliance with Uniform Guidance requirements. - Invest district funds prudently and in compliance with the district's investment policy and ORC Chapter 135. Standard 2 Leadership and Strategic Planning: - Serve as a key member of the district leadership team and advise the Board and Superintendent on the financial impact of decisions. - Develop long-range financial plans that align resources with the district's strategic and academic priorities. - Advise on revenue strategies, including levies, bond issues, and state funding formula impacts. - Lead, supervise, evaluate, and develop Treasurer's Office staff. Standard 3 Communication and Collaboration: - Serve as secretary to the Board of Education, including maintaining official Board minutes and records. - Present financial information to the Board, staff, and public in clear, accessible language. - Build productive working relationships with the Superintendent, administrators, bargaining units, auditors, state agencies, county officials, and community stakeholders. - Provide financial data and analysis to support collective bargaining. Standard 4 Internal Controls, Risk Management, and Compliance: - Establish and maintain strong internal controls to protect district assets and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse. - Oversee insurance, risk management, and bonding programs. - Ensure compliance with public records, open meetings, and ethics laws. - Implement audit recommendations and monitor corrective action plans. Standard 5 Ethics and Professional Conduct: - Model the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and ethical behavior in stewarding public funds. - Comply with Ohio Ethics Law and professional codes of conduct. - Pursue ongoing professional development and maintain licensure requirements. That's all duties. - Requirements: we have "Required Qualification" list: Valid Ohio School Treasurer License, or eligibility to obtain one before the start date, as issued by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce. Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, business administration, or a related field. Demonstrated knowledge of Ohio school finance, including the state funding formula, school district budgeting, forecasting, and tax levies. Ability to be bonded as required by Ohio law. Successful completion of BCI and FBI background checks. We can put those as
        • . - Qualifications: we have "Preferred Qualifications": Master's degree in business, finance, accounting, or public administration. CPA or Certified Public Finance Officer designation. At least five years of experience as a school treasurer, assistant treasurer, or in public-sector financial management. Experience in an urban district or a district working through fiscal recovery or oversight. Proficiency with Ohio school financial software (such as USAS/USPS or Redesign) and EMIS reporting. Record of clean audits and credible, effective five-year forecasts. We could treat these as "Qualifications" section (maybe "Preferred Qualifications"). - Skills: we have "KEY COMPETENCIES": Strategic thinking, analytical rigor, clear communication with non-financial audiences, sound judgment under pressure, collaborative leadership, and an unwavering commitment to transparency and student-centered decisions. We can put those as
          • under Skills. - Benefits: The posting says "Salary & Benefits: Commensurate with experience and qualifications; competitive benefits package $110,000.00 - $130,000.00". Actually they gave a salary range and mention competitive benefits package. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. They did state salary range and benefits package. So we can include a Benefits section? They said "competitive benefits package" but not detailed. However we have salary range. Should we create a Pay section? They said never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. They did state salary range and benefits package (though vague). So we could include a Pay section with the salary range. But they also said never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). The salary range is specific: $110,000.00 - $130,000.00. That's not filler. So we can include Pay section with that range. Benefits: they said "competitive benefits package" but no details; that's vague but maybe still considered substantive? It's not filler like "not specified". It's a statement that there is a competitive benefits package. Could include Benefits section with that sentence. However they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Might combine Pay and Benefits into one section? But headings are predefined; we could have Pay and Benefits separate. However we might avoid Benefits if it's just "competitive benefits package" with no detail; but it's still substantive. I'd include Pay section with salary range, and Benefits section with "competitive benefits package". But we need to check if they want us to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". The phrase "competitive benefits package" is not filler per se but still vague. Might be okay. Schedule: they have "Start DateNegotiable, subject to Board approval" and "Employment TypeFull-time, 12-month administrative position; multi-year contract per Ohio Revised Code 3313.22". That's schedule info. So we could include Schedule section with that. But they said never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. They do state employment type and start date. So we can include Schedule. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Benefits, Schedule. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title as heading. We'll not. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, etc. Also remove "How To Apply" and the link, also "APPLICATIONS ARE TO BE COMPLETED VIA THE ON-LINE APPLICATION PROCESS." Also remove "The East Cleveland City School District is an Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also remove "ANTICIPATED SEARCH TIMELINE" etc. Also remove "Start DateNegotiable, subject to Board approval" maybe we keep in Schedule. We need to preserve all substantive information: that includes the district description, position summary, responsibilities, required qualifications, preferred qualifications, key competencies, salary range, benefits package, employment type, start date. We need to format as HTML fragment: use

            for headings,

            for prose,

            • for lists. We need to decide what goes into

              vs

              . For About the role, we have two paragraphs: district description and position summary. Could combine into one

              or two

              s. Probably two

              s. For Responsibilities: we will output a

              with each duty as
              • . Might be long but okay. For Requirements:
                with each required qualification. For Qualifications (Preferred):
                with each preferred qualification. For Skills:
                with each key competency. For Pay:

                with salary range. For Benefits:

                with "competitive benefits package". For Schedule:

                with employment type and start date info. We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". We have salary range specific, so okay. Now let's craft the HTML. First, About the role:
