Superintendent Mikella Lowe declined comment about the issue Wednesday — Rubright has asked school administrators and board members not to speak about the issue.

“Since it addresses legal issues, I’ve advised them to defer comments from (the public) to (me),” said Rubright.

Lowe did say that she would talk to parents about specifics of the policy — such as questions about color of clothing.

Rubright said that the school board would soon meet in executive session to discuss the suit.

“We will be having a meeting shortly; (we’re) attempting to schedule it,” said Rubright.

As of 3:45 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, the Madison Circuit Court had not received a copy of Rubright’s petition, the court said.

“We’d like for all the people who don’t support uniforms in this city to stand up and have your voice heard,” said Scott Bell. “(This case) might be a long battle.”
