Hi, my name is Tony Meaux. I've been a bus driver for the Vermilion Parish School system for over 22 years. I spent 2 1/2 years as a substitute driver, 15 years as a regular ed driver, and currently am starting my 6th year as a Special Needs bus driver. I am certified by the State of Louisiana to teach the "Coaching the Bus Driver/Defensive Driving" course. I am also certified to prepare new drivers in the Third Party Skills Test, which includes the Pre-Trip Inspection, Back Up Maneuvers, and Driving Skills test.

​

I am married to my wife of over 40 years, Diane. We have two children: Brock, who is in education as the band director at Gueydan High, and our daughter, Lacey Catherine, who is also a teacher at Abbeville High, where she manages Virtual School, as well as coaches and sponsors several activities.

​

I am a people person. I love being around and meeting new people as well as children. I think that children are our most precious gifts, and I take the responsibility of keeping them safe on their journey to and from school very seriously. I'm always willing to help someone better themselves, and I believe that you should never stop learning. It's for those reasons that I began training new bus drivers, and this site will hopefully help to make that process of training an easier, more enjoyable road for us to travel together.
