Abstract
To what extent do environmental factors affect the framing of public policy? Is it possible that a catastrophic event could alter the perspectives of policy makers toward existing public policy? The following study explores these questions by examining whether the perspectives of U.S. school boards toward student dress policy changed following the Columbine High School shooting in 1999. The initial belief is that a shift in student dress policy assertions occurred after Columbine to reflect a social, political, and media environment increasingly concerned with school safety.
