William Glover School was closed in 1980, partly due to lack of students. With integration programs in place, students who once went to the school were bused to other schools. Bealsville citizens tried, to no avail, to appeal the county’s decision to close the school. Finally, in an effort to at least keep the buildings and grounds in the community, the citizens formed Bealsville, Incorporated, and a non-profit group. The group was successful in getting Hillsborough County to return the land and buildings to the community’s control. Bealsville maintains the campus and are developing alternative uses for the buildings that have been the center of the community and a source of pride for over sixty years.
