son's high school tuition?

I am still trying to find out if we can spend $2300 on our son's high school tuition if we file 13. The IRS does give an allowance of $137.50 a month for children's school tuition if I read it correctly.
I am just not sure that is an allowable expence. I also would like to prepay it for next fall befoe I file chapt 13. I am not sure if the trustee will see that and demand the money back from the school to pay my creditors.

yes I included my daughter's tuition on expenses schedule and also included it in Part VII (additional expense) of the means test.

I also used my girls tuition! I have two in private school.
