Down the road, Tayonda Garrett and her 4-year-old daughter Dazira of Dellwood waited at a Metro bus stop. Dazira was wearing a pink backpack. Unlike kids in the Ferguson-Florissant School District, she was on the way to school this morning, a preschool she attends in St. Louis City. Garrett takes her daughter there on the bus every day and doesnt see any reason to change her routine now.
