Oklahoma won’t be required to expand protections for LGBTQ+ people in schools while waiting for a federal court to weigh in on new Title IX rules.

They also expand protections for students and school employees who are pregnant, breastfeeding or recovering from terminating a pregnancy. The rules go into effect Aug. 1.
