False.

Explanation
You must always stop when approaching a school bus from either direction displaying red flashing lights or a stop arm, as children are boarding or exiting. Remain stopped until the red lights are deactivated, the arm is retracted, and the road is clear. Passing a school bus with flashing red lights is illegal. The only exception is on divided highways (roadways separated by a physical median): if traveling opposite the bus, you are not required to stop.
