Brett Manning, executive director of the Forest Preserve District, said forest preserve commissioners will look at any proposal by the city, but added, "If McAuley School is moved to our property, there is expense involved."

Manning said he would prefer McAuley School be moved to Kline Creek Farm, a living-history museum on County Farm Road in Winfield.

"There would be added costs regardless of which site McAuley School is moved to," Manning said.
