Case Study: Comal Independent School District streamlines professional learning and adds more PD sessions with KickUp

Comal Independent School District - Customer Case Study

Comal Independent School District, a fast-growing Texas district serving more than 24,000 students, needed a better way to manage its popular Comal U professional development institute. As the event grew in scale and complexity, staff were spending hours coordinating signups, tracking credit requirements, and pulling data from multiple sources. Comal partnered with KickUp and used its professional development management system to centralize these workflows.

KickUp customized the platform to align with district needs and state PD requirements, giving educators and administrators a single place to register for sessions, track completion and credits, and view detailed transcripts. The impact was immediate: Comal U added 15 more sessions in the first year of KickUp, achieved a 94% teacher approval rating for Comal U 2018, and introduced an automated waitlist to better manage high-demand and underattended sessions.
