Barrett v. Charleston County School District

Barrett appealed her termination to the Charleston County School Board (“the School Board”), which voted 4-1 to terminate. Barrett appealed her termination to the Circuit Court, which reversed the School Board’s determination and reinstated her to her teaching *428position. The School Board appeals the Circuit Court’s ruling. We reverse.
