They’re reciprocal agreements. Bell is trying to stop theirs with pineville because pineville is barely hanging on. They’ll most likely be closed in the next decade and Bell is trying to speed up the process. That way Bell will completely absorb their student population.

You almost got it correct, Pineville has more students than they have had in 15 years. Matter of fact the number coming from Bell has grown to around 265. Bells administration has tanked the last few years and can’t get the parents back so they are trying to close school choice for parents and forcing kids to come back. Not working out well right now. As far as Pineville Schools they are not just hanging on, they are flourishing.
