Extends Sonja Biggs Education Services' visual-impairment teacher contract to June 2027

This amendment keeps a Teacher of the Visually Impaired working for the Special Education Department for another year. The teacher completes legally required assessments, serves students with documented or suspected visual impairments, and joins Individualized Education Program meetings. The term now runs to June 30, 2027, and the cap stays at $49,500, so no money is added.
