I would second calling the state DOE and asking for transfer policies between districts, based on differences in cut-off dates. Generally speaking, if the district mandates an assessment as a criterion for eligibility to a program, they have to provide it. They don't have to pay for it if they have a qualified person and you choose to have it done elsewhere.
Oh, and in most states that I know of, if you have completed first grade, there are no more minimum age requirements for promotion. On the other hand, in some districts, promotion is the decision of the school alone.
And the interstate compact for military families is referenced in a number of state DOE websites about age of entry. I just checked a semi-random sampling.
