IRA contribution versus rollover

My wife transferred money from her school retirement plan to a traditional IRA.  Are we correct to assume that is considered a rollover and not a contribution, which has different tax deduction implications?

Yes, moving money from one retirement account to another is a rollover, not an additional contribution for the year.
