From the Chicago Sun-Times today:
Chicago public school bureaucrats skirted competitive bidding rules to buy 30 cappuccino/espresso machines for $67,000, with most of the machines going unused because the schools they were ordered for had not asked for them, according to a report by the CPS Office of Inspector General.
And apparently these machines weren’t intended for the teacher’s lounge:
“We also look at it as a waste of money because the schools didn’t even know they were getting the equipment, schools didn’t know how to use the machines and weren’t prepared to implement them into the curriculum,” Sullivan (the Inspector General) said.
A new barista training program, perhaps?

Good evening:)
I’m a student who want to be a barista and really want to learn about how to make coffee. I have a lot of free time currently and am trying to work in Starbucks as a part-time job. If I can learn about that through this program, I would be very happy. Please notify via e-mail. Thank you very much.
