Just curious - are you concerned that someone will apply to work at a school and work there just long enough for their child to be accepted, then quit?

Staff preference certainly makes more sense than sibling preference.

That's my biggest What's to prevent a SAHM from taking a $10k a year PT office job at the school in order to gain admission. (I almost have myself talked into trying to get one of these jobs next year!)
As I remember this is limited to no more than 10% of the student body, but that's still potentially a lot kids.
You have to be a FT staff member.
Okay. Former McKinsey & MBA here but also SAHM. I'll go back to work in the office for $30k a year in exchange for seats for my kids. Fair deal for all?
So you assume they'll just hand you one of these jobs even if you have no relevant experience?

I don't know for a fact but I would doubt it--once a child is in, he/she is already enrolled.

Who cares if you used to grind away at a consulting job or that you have an MBA? It makes it seem like you're defensive about being a SAHP or that you feel the school job is beneath you. Maybe that's not what you meant, but that's how it sounds.
+1 If you are a good employee of the school, it's a great deal for everyone. If you suck, then not.
