Why is DCPS digging in if this isn’t a widespread problem? What kind of resources are they willing to commit to fighting so few students enrolling late?

Avra Siegel needs to consider either private school or home-schooling. She clearly has the means, and clearly is staying with DCPS solely to pick fights at this point. She's doing no one any favors with this pointless crusade, including her own kids.
She seems truly insufferable. If she had kept her head down she probably would have been able to get her kid into K.
It is true that by publicizing the issue and making a big stink about it, they are just highlighting the reason why it is completely unfair for them to expect to be allowed to redshirt.
If their kids had special needs or any real developmental reason other than "mommy just thinks I need more seasoning," that would be obvious by now and DCPS would have given in. But the more public they are about it, the more obvious it is that these kids would have been perfectly fine starting on time.

I can’t imagine being the older kid and having my mom say to a national newspaper that despite me entering K at the age of SIX, I struggled in 1st. Google means this stuff now lives and haunts you forever. Ouch.

Honey, are you ok?
I'm great, actually. How are you... honey?
