Kirkwood R-VII School District
The Kirkwood R-7 School District is a public school district headquartered in Kirkwood, Missouri. History History of the district 1833–1866: The beginning The area that would become the city of Kirkwood was settled in 1833. The area's residents were educated by the state's public school system and not by a local school district. Public education took place under the State Constitution of 1820, which allowed for the education of the poor at public expense. Black children were not included, because an 1847 state law prohibited teaching African American or bi-racial people how to read and write. State legislators approved the establishment of the Kirkwood School District on February 17, 1865, three days before approving the charter that established the city. The school district encompassed a larger tract of land than the city. Later, this difference would allow the district to educate all its Black children outside of city limits for a period of time.
