Another former Kirkwood High School teacher and coach has been accused of sexually abusing a student decades ago.Â
John âJackâ Collier, who taught consumer economics and was a football coach at Kirkwood High School in the late 1970s and early 1980s, is accused of âraping, sodomizing and/or abusingâ a female student on more than one occasion between 1980 and 1981, according to a lawsuit filed last week in St. Louis County. Collier died in 2006.
Former students noted on a social media post that Jack Collier should not be confused with former longtime Kirkwood High School head football coach Dale Collier.
The civil suit, filed on July 16, 2021, seeks $25,000 in damages from both Collier and the Kirkwood School District. The lawsuit comes less than a month after an independent firm released its findings of an investigation into the Kirkwood School Districtâs handling of past sexual abuse allegations.Â

KIRKWOOD, Mo. (AP) A report is expected next month on a suburban St. Louis school district’s handling of past sexual abuse and misconduct complaints.
Investigators with Kansas City-based Encompass Resolution have reviewed hundreds of pages of documents, including previous investigative files and Facebook posts, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Friday. The firm will present those findings on June 28 to the Kirkwood School Board.
The investigation using the outside firm was launched after a former teacher, Christopher Stephens, was indicted last September on charges of statutory sodomy, statutory rape and sexual assault.
