On April 29, 1999 approximately 800 students from Eisenhower High School and Eisenhower Middle School staged a walkout, protesting the New Berlin Public School Board's $1.6 billion proposed budget cuts. The cuts included eliminating elective course options such as home economics and eliminating several teaching positions. Although students skipped class for the walkout from 9:30 am until early in the afternoon, many Eisenhower teachers supported the protest, and administration did not punish students for truancy.
