Madison Metropolitan School District · Madison, WI · 1 mo ago
$25.47/hrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 for headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real specific content. The posting includes Starting Compensation: $25.47 (Pay). Also includes Employment Type: Non-Exempt (maybe schedule? Not schedule). There's no explicit Benefits, Schedule details. There's mention of "great compensation package" and "Visit our benefits page and compensation page for more information." No specific benefits listed. So we should not create Benefits section because no specific content. Pay we have Starting Compensation: $25.47. So we can include Pay section with that.
We need sections: About the role (maybe purpose of position). Responsibilities (essential duties). Requirements (minimum qualifications). Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications). Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities). We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Fyce Kennedy Elementary"? Actually posting seems for Village Builder and SEA positions? The title maybe "Village Builder" and "SEA". But we must not repeat job title as heading. We'll just use headings as per content.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from the posting.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. So we need to strip out the Equal Opportunity Employer paragraph, disclaimer, etc. Also remove "Next Steps", "Working Conditions", "Physical Requirements", maybe those are substantive? They contain info about working conditions, physical requirements. Are those considered substantive? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. "Next Steps" is application instructions? It says "Upon submitting, your application will be reviewed..." That's application instructions, should be removed. "Working Conditions" maybe not boilerplate but could be considered substantive? It's about work schedule, travel, etc. Might be considered relevant. However we have no Schedule section unless we have specifics. Working Conditions includes travel, evenings, nights, weekends, hybrid flexibility. That could be considered Schedule info. But we only create Schedule section if posting actually states them. It does state some schedule info: "Position may require working evenings, nights, and some weekends." Also "Certain positions within the District may allow hybrid work flexibility...". So we could include Schedule section with that info. However we must not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does state some schedule info, so we can include.
Similarly Benefits: posting mentions "great compensation package" and "Visit our benefits page and compensation page for more information." No specific benefits listed. So we should not create Benefits section because no specific content.
Pay: Starting Compensation: $25.47. Also maybe "Employment Type: Non-Exempt". That's not pay but could be included in Pay section? Probably Pay section includes compensation and employment type.
We need to include all substantive info: About the role (purpose of Village Builder and SEA positions). Responsibilities (essential duties for VB and SEA). Requirements (minimum qualifications for VB and SEA). Qualifications (maybe preferred qualifications for SEA). Skills (knowledge, skills, abilities). Also maybe "Physical Requirements" could be part of Requirements? But we have separate Physical Requirements section maybe not needed as heading; we could incorporate into Requirements or Skills? But instruction: use headings only for those specific categories; we can put physical abilities under Skills or Requirements. However we have a separate "Physical Requirements" block; we could treat that as part of Skills (abilities). But we must not invent headings; we can include that info under Skills as bullet points.
We must not duplicate lines. Need to deduplicate repeated sentences: The posting repeats some paragraphs like vision statement twice. We need to preserve all substantive information but not duplicate lines. So we should include each unique piece once.
