I recently spoke with our IB school where we are waitlisted, and they indicated that they were waiting for Special Ed to release one spot in the PreK-4 class if it is not needed, and then they would open the spot up to the waitlist. I wasn't sure whether there was a district-wide standard for how long they hold slots for Special Ed, or if it is specific to each school?Thanks in advance for any insights
They are supposed to be held open all year. A child with an IEP has the legs right to PK3 or PK4 seat even if they are only entering the school system late in the year. Many children are in private preschool or day care or at home before they are diagnosed and qualified for an IEP.
Wish I knew what school told you that so I could report them to DCPS and OSSE.

Do you mean Early Stages? Or other types of placements.
