A school board gets an email from superintendent's personal attorney restricting questioning of the superintendent. Is it legal to read publicly in an open public meeting?

Is it legal to read publicly in an open public meeting?
Yes. Generally speaking, a lawyer's communications to third parties or his client's prospective adversary(-ies) are not protected from disclosure.
From a legal standpoint, the lawyer's email to the school board is equivalent to the scenario of the superintendent himself being the sender.
