Iowa has seen an increase in the number of students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals. More than 108,700 qualified in the 2009-2010 school year. That's up by more than 32,000 from five years ago. Suburban Des Moines districts saw some of the sharpest increases. That means more traffic at places like West Des Moines Human Services, and it has educators extra focused on keeping low-income children on pace with the rest of their peers.
