Bills to improve literacy and establish a new system for grading Missouri schools passed the House but failed to make their way through the Senate.

Dozens of representatives reversed their votes on legislation to expand the state's program that allows adults to obtain their high school diplomas virtually.

The Missouri House passed over 20 bills on Thursday, sending most of them to the Senate. It is unclear how many of them will make it to Gov. Mike Kehoe.

The legislation approved by the House on Wednesday is designed to temper tax increases on personal property such as vehicles.
