This is what I came to say. You are asking them to take a very young student (will be youngest in the class) with special needs that cost them $, but they will not get credit for it. Not going to happen. Enroll in your local DCPS for this year, OP.

OP here: the charter has been clear they are happy to have her…as long as it won’t get their city contract revoked. They need enrollment, and this is a simple way to onboard a student who’s likely to stick around.

Do not kid yourself, if they were actually were happy to have her there would be zero hiccups.

OP here: They were indeed happy to have her…fought to get her enrolled - despite the fact that the city is providing no funding - and the transition was seamless. But it took multiple outside actors and officials to force OSSE to follow their own written regulations that allow for this enrollment (as an “exception” - huh?). I will not speculate as to why, but will note that everyone outside the agency was as baffled by the intransigence and apparent ignorance of existing regulations as we were.

That’s crazy. I’m glad it worked out.

Is it true that if a child with a birthday after the 9/30 cut off goes through Early Stages and does PK3 that they have to repeat PK3 again the following year?

Yes. My child had to do pk3 over since his birthday fell in October.
