WASHINGTON (AP) _ President Bush on Monday night will propose a $300 million initiative to help provide choices for children trapped in struggling inner-city public schools, the White House said, describing one of a few new proposals in his State of the Union address. “The president has some concerns about the declining number of faith-based and parochial schools in inner cities around the country and low-income neighborhoods, and is going to urge Congress to enact a program he calls ‘Pell Grants for Kids,’ ” said Bush counselor Ed Gillespie. The money would “provide alternatives for children now trapped in struggling public schools,” Gillespie told reporters.
