The statement is false because it inaccurately suggests that the decision to pass a stopped school with activated red lights and an extended stop arm hinges on the driver's personal judgment of whether it is safe to proceed. You must remain stopped until the bus driver retracts the stop arm and deactivates the red warning lights; then, proceed cautiously.
