    Abstract:
    An electronic voting and dialog system is utilized to assist decision making in a school education environment. The major responsibility for these decisions lies on the school administrator who finds himself in a highly complex and diversified educational organization. Many of the decisions that he must make are far-reaching in terms of the number of school personnel they affect and the widespread impact they are likely to have. Whereas a variety of models for decision making are available in the literature, this paper focuses on a five-phase model and evaluates its applicability to the school district decision-making process. The electronic feedback system used in this research was found to be a valuable tool in all five phases of decision making.
