It is proper grammar to use a comma before every item in a series except for the last one. Therefore a comma before the conjunction should be used.
The public school system is far from underfunded. I believe the federal and state governments mandate far too much, which forces schools to use money in less efficient ways. However, school districts spend over $8500 per student on average. This is plenty of money to do the job, they just need to stop looking at the taxpayers as an endless resource of money.
Catholic schools prove this every day. They operate in every socioeconomic condition. They operate on a fraction of the cost per student of public schools, yet consistently outperform them.
I was taught that it is an option if you choose to use/not use the comma before "and" in a serial sentence. It once was a common practice, but lately it is more acceptable to not use it.Basically it boils down to personal preference.
In a compound sentence, however, you must use a comma befoer the "and". Thought that's was not the case here.
