House lawmakers advanced a broad education bill Tuesday that creates a civics proficiency design and internet safety curricula. The House also voted to remove a provision that would have changed how the state audits charter schools.

From bills that aim to raise low reading scores to remedies for students using cellphones in class, lawmakers will spend the second half of session considering bills from the opposite chamber with fresh eyes and advancing initiatives with widespread support.

A slate of education bills passed out of the Senate Tuesday after debate and endorsement from lawmakers. Those proposals will now move to the House for further deliberation.
