Considering the critical role of parents in education policy, we explore families’ negotiations about the new school admission system, focusing on the moral dilemmas they experience when confronted with changes in the rules that organize the distribution of school seats and the notions of educational justice they adhere to. We draw on interviews with 80 families from different social classes and belonging to five regions of Chile who were choosing a school under the new school admission system. Our findings underline that—while families tend to agree with the principle of equal formal opportunities in the school admission field—the reform brings in a set of moral dilemmasand competing notions of justice that encompass its different components. Based on these findings, we shed light on the distance between policy intention and interpretation, and between abstract conceptualizations of justice in educational policies and what counts as just policies in families ’ views. In addition, we outline a set of implications for justiceoriented reforms worldwide.  \nKeywords: educational justice; parents; moral dilemmas; school admission system; Chile  \nAdmisiones escolares y justicia educacional: Los dilemas morales de las familias al confrontar el nuevo sistema de admisión escolar chileno  \nResumen: En el contexto del creciente interés por la justicia social dentro de los debates de política educativa, este artículo aborda el nuevo sistema de admisión escolar orientado ala justicia educacional implementado en Chile. Tomando en cuenta el papel fundamental de los padres y madres en la política educativa, exploramos las negociaciones de las familias sobre el nuevo sistema de admisión escolar, centrándonos en los dilemas morales que experimentan cuando se enfrentan a cambios en las reglas que organizan ladistribución de los cupos escolares y sus nociones de justicia educativa al respecto. Nos basamos en entrevistas a 80 familias de diferentes clases sociales y pertenecientes a cinco regiones de Chile que estaban en proceso de elegir una escuela a través del nuevo sistema de admisión escolar.
