While the specific details of what happened between Garris and the school district are not available from the court records provided, this was clearly a workplace-related legal dispute that made its way through the South Carolina court system. **What the Court Decided** Unfortunately, the outcome of this case cannot be determined from the available information.

However, it serves as a reminder that public employees, including those working in school districts, have legal rights in the workplace and can pursue court action when they believe those rights have been violated. Workers should document workplace issues and understand that legal remedies may be available when employment disputes arise, though outcomes vary significantly based on specific circumstances.
