The New Era - All about Sweet Home since 1929

June 8, 1972

The Sweet Home School Board relieved Supt. Douglas Olds of all his official duties during an unannounced special meeting.

The board earlier refused to renew Olds’ contract and hired Pleasant Valley’s superintendent, Joey Acaiturri, to replace him.

Board Chairman Walt Mulholland said the decision was made because the new superintendent would be coming into the district and there will be conflicting ideas and opinions.

Olds said he didn’t ask to be relieved, but had some vacation he looked forward to taking.
