Latest Comply News & Updates
Tracking Flex Time Just Got Easier with Comply!
Tracking flex time (Flexible Professional Development Time) just got easier! Edulink’s Comply platform now offers a centralized, automated solution that simplifies and streamlines the management of district-specific professional learning requirements outside of, or in addition to, Act 48.
Many districts use spreadsheets or manual processes to manage flex hours. Comply provides an automated solution for tracking progress toward a required total. Below are some of the highlights related to flex hours that can be tracked in Comply:
- Track flex hours across all staff
- Configure flex hours independently from Act 48
- Maintain documentation and proof of completion
- View live summary reports of flex hours earned
- Export reports for building-level or district-level analysis
Review our support article for more details!
All User Progress for Request Items
The All User Progress feature in Comply, previously available only for Compliance items, is now also accessible for Request items, serving as a broader shared entry point for both compliance and request items.
The Results Are In!
We are pleased to announce the results of our annual feedback survey. Users who responded, are 100% satisfied with Comply!!
“The staff and training that I have received from Comply is one of the best. They are top notch and so easy to work with no matter what you need.”
– Kimberly Bednar, Central Cambria School District
“Thanks for always responding to feedback from your users. We are so impressed with the constant improvement. Comply has been an absolutely incredible and instrumental tool for our district, streamlining our entire approval process. While we initially adopted it for Act 48 credit tracking, we have since expanded its use to include all new hire paperwork, internal requests, and numerous other functions.”
– Stacy Kepner, Lower Moreland Township School District
Your Feedback Matters!
If you missed the chance to provide feedback, we’d still love to hear from you!
The Volunteer Module
Our new Volunteer Management module streamlines volunteer administration by automating requirements and paperwork related to clearances and other district-related items. LEAs can auto-assign compliance items, with recurrence as needed, and access reports on approved volunteers. This module efficiently tracks and manages various volunteer types, including parents, guardians, and coaches. Integrated with Comply, it ensures full compliance with state requirements.

Tyler Technologies Acquires Edulink
Edulink, Inc. has joined the Tyler Technologies team. After more than 25 years of serving Pennsylvania schools, we truly believe this step represents a great day for our team, for our products, and most importantly — for the districts we’re privileged to support.
Edulink has always been built on close, personal partnerships with the districts we serve. And while Tyler Technologies is a much larger organization, we feel the same values and alignment with their team. Joining the Tyler Technologies team allows us to carry our culture forward while gaining access to additional engineering, product, and client experience resources.
As part of the Tyler Technologies team, we will continue focusing on helping administrators reduce burdens and spend more time on meaningful work. You can expect a thoughtful, steady transition with clear communication well in advance of any future updates.
