Farmington R-7 Names Jessica Long as New Transportation Manager
The Farmington R-7 School District is pleased to announce that Jessica Long has been named the new Transportation Manager, effective for the 2026–2027 school year. She will succeed Stacy Williams, who is retiring at the end of the current school year after dedicated service to the district.
Jessica brings nearly 16 years of experience within the district’s transportation department. She began her career in May 2010 as a substitute bus driver and took on her first regular route, Bus 42, at the start of the 2010–2011 school year. Over the years, she has driven four different routes, including an early childhood route, and has also served students as an instructional aide at TLC.
In the past four years, Jessica has expanded her role beyond driving, taking on responsibilities in route programming and managing the district’s routing software. Working closely alongside Stacy Williams during this time, she has gained valuable insight into the daily operations and leadership required to keep the transportation department running efficiently.
Her combined experience in driving, routing, and administrative support has given her a strong understanding of both the complexities of student transportation and the regulations that guide it.
“I am excited for the opportunity to lead such an outstanding team of mechanics, drivers, and support staff,” Jessica said. “In the coming year, I plan to evaluate and improve our processes while ensuring we continue to provide safe, reliable transportation for our students. The school day begins and ends with our buses, and our drivers and fleet are vital to our district. I am committed to maintaining and strengthening that standard of excellence for both daily routes and extracurricular activities.”
Outside her professional role, Jessica has been married for 18 years, and they have three children who attend Farmington R-7 schools. She enjoys spending time with her family, attending band events and soccer games, and relaxing on weekends, often playing video games together. She is also an avid reader of fantasy and science fiction, a passion she shares with her children.
Please join us in congratulating Jessica Long on her new role and in thanking Stacy Williams for her years of service to the Farmington R-7 School District.

What is Proposition Transfer?
Think of it like a household budget.
It allows existing school tax dollars to be moved from one purpose to another, based on current needs.
The total school tax rate stays the same.
