Rationale: Increase is due to the addition of professional development days from Teachers College for the implementation of TC Reading as well as the addition of the Middle School as a project school for TC Writing. Reductions in other codes are primarily from a decrease in need for other professional development opportunities (because of the increase in Teachers College Professional Development)
