UPDATE:
I bought one of the Beast Academy books (3A). Both DD's math teacher and gifted teacher are looking into these books as resources in their classrooms in the future as well.
Met with the principal yesterday, and we started the process to see if DD is a good candidate for whole-grade acceleration. He is VERY open-minded about acceleration, has already bumped up 2 kids this year alone, and is taking our concerns very seriously. The district follows the IAS for determining if acceleration is appropriate, so that's been great.
So now waiting for DD to take a test and meet with the counselor. Should have a decision in less than 2 weeks! They're working this up fast!
I feel very grateful to live in a district that's open to all of this.
