This is the 2nd time I've recently seen a question regarding tuition
paid to a public school.  Why are you paying tuition?

Strato, 
As you may have recognized, some of us have never heard of tuition for
public schools, but it sure exists.  Here are a couple of sites from
other states for general information:
http://www.arlington.k12.va.us/schoolboard/sbp/Student%20Services/25-2.1-admission-placement.pdf
http://dpi.wi.gov/sms/pdf/twparinf.pdf
And I found a NJ document form for paying between school districts,
apparently applicable for areas where the nearest school is in the
neighboring district.

Unfortunately, I have been able to find similar information for NY
State, but it must exist, if not on the web then from the school
district.  It is none of our business why or with whom your daughter
is living in Otsego County, but it could have a bearing on the
possibility of getting a waiver of the tuition.
It looks from the other states that they are really look for
residency, perhaps because your solution (if it is one) was not
considered, or because they were so clever as to consider that one
residence only justifies schooling for one family (regardless if your
tenents have kids).

I hope someone is more successful at finding the NY details on
tuition, but at least, I hope, you have an idea of what to ask for
locally.
Good luck, Myoarin

Myoarin, Thanks for the comment. It is helpful... and my daughter
lives with me and her Mom, in our primary residence on the district
line just 2 miles from the school.The school I pay taxes for, is 6
miles away.That n.j form is interesting as  it sounds like it applies
to me....

Strato, 
I hope it helps a little.  Here is the NJ site, click on the first
item and you will get the inter-district contract.

http://www.state.nj.us/njded/finance/tuition/

In your daughter's case  (glad she is living with you both!)  it would
seem to be a question of whether her attending school in the adjacent
district is voluntary or the result of geographic factors, your maybe
living remote from the appropriate school in your own district, and
then, of course, we don't know how NY handles this, but I hope that
you can find out more, and something in your favor.
