Well the whole point of such an experiment would be to generalize it.

Sure, but if the gains in an experiment come from cannibalizing other districts, then it's not a good guide to what will happen when everyone's in the experiment. Do you attract more people to the profession? Or do people get discouraged by seeing variable outcomes they can't predict ahead of time?
Given that we have the whole private sector as benchmark for your questions, I'm pretty sure the outcome would be positive.
