If found in contempt, the board members and Greer could receive a jail sentence. The school board did not rehire Wiginton this year for another term as Supervising Principal of Mendenhall Attendance Center.

The court entered a decree granting injunctive relief and permanently enjoining and restraining Greer and the school board from hiring a replacement for Wiginton. The order instructed them to rehire him for the coming year, and gave them 10 days in which to do so.
