The Alabama Supreme Court will be asked to reconsider a recent decision that press advocates say gutted the state's open meetings law.
A lawyer for a former Montgomery County interim school superintendent says he will ask the justices for a rehearing in the case, which was decided last week.
Attorney Mark Montiel says he's optimistic the court will revisit its divided opinion. Montiel represents Clay Slagle, who filed suit claiming Montgomery's school board met illegally after he wasn't hired in 2009.
The justices upheld a lower court ruling rejecting his claims.
The Alabama Press Association maintains the decision gutted Alabama's open meetings law.
But the director of the Alabama Association of School Boards disagrees, saying she doesn't expect boards and commissions to stop making decisions in public.
