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?

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.
