Can I deduct transfer fees for sending children to public elementary school in a different district?

Our 2 children (age 9 and 10) go to school in a different district by choice.  Each year we pay around $2500 as a required fee.  I believe the claim is that it's the tax portion we don't pay directly to the county since we don't live in the same district.  Since we don't get any money back from our own county taxes for children not going to school here, can these transfer fees be listed as educational expense deductible items?
