A grateful Daisy Leon, 10, gives her tutor, Elizabeth Newton, a hug after the end of class Wednesday at Little School in East Bonita Springs. The after-school tutoring program has had to cut its tutoring time in half due to a shortage of tutors. At a high of around 130 during season, the number of volunteers has been reduced to around 14 due to new state regulations requiring processing fees, fingerprinting and background checks.
