Those are the rules, well understood and agreed to up front. If for whatever reason those rules aren't satisfied, the children of those parents no longer qualifying are dismissed to be enrolled in appropriate public schools.
Those are the rules which are reflected in the school's charter and are not subject to interpretation.

There's a difference between being legal and being ethical. Too bad so many Villagers talk a good talk about being fine, upstanding Christians and insist on pledging "one nation under God" but find nothing wrong with this kind of preferential treatment for employees' children. Reminds me of some certain Pharisees who were really good at quoting the Law but didn't have a clue about what God really required. Which children would Jesus think were not worthy of a high quality education? Would you deny Charter School admission to the boy Jesus because his parents didn't work in The Villages? As you do it to the least of these children, you do it to Him. Legality has nothing to do with it. It may be legal, but it's clearly WRONG!
