EL MONTE - One foster child slipped through the cracks in the education system when he told school officials he was being home schooled. But his "teacher" was really his 82-year-old, Spanish-speaking grandmother.
Another child kept running away from his foster home and visiting his plumber brother in Lake Elsinore, who happened to have a bullet lodged in his skull.
Needless to say, neither of the boys was racking up credits in high school.
Now a team led by County Supervisor Gloria Molina is rolling out a program meant to plug the cracks for foster children in high school.
