Amid recent controversy and calls for his dismissal over changes to a holiday music program, Park Ridge-Niles School District 64 Superintendent Eric Olson announced Monday he will resign at the end of the school year.

"Despite our irreconcilable differences, I am thankful for the opportunity to proudly serve the staff and families of the Park Ridge-Niles community," Olson said in an email to district parents."I've formed many lasting relationships, and I will always champion the students and staff of District 64. There is still much work to be done to finish out the rest of the school year and to prepare for the next one.

However, Olson faced criticism and demands for his firing in November after the district announced plans to change its annual Holiday Sing program into the Spring Sing. Some parents claimed the move, which later was reversed, was anti-Christmas.
