Yes, but you'll receive a restriction appropriate to the class of vehicle you road test in for your passenger endorsement (e.g., if you road test in an 18k GVW passenger bus, you'll be restricted to buses requiring a Class C CDL, if you road test in a 26,001 - 33,000k bus, you'll be restricted to buses requiring a Class B or C CDL).

Air brakes don't matter insofar as license classes go. If it's a bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver), you'd need a Class C CDL with passenger endorsement (school bus endorsement if it's a school bus).

Otherwise, an ordinary driver's license (the class varies by state).

Do you need a CDL license to drive a school bus i have a class d?

If it's designed to transport more than 15 persons (this number includes the driver), then yes. You'll need a class of CDL appropriate to the vehicle (Class C is under 26,000 lbs. GVWR, Class B if over 26,000 lbs. GVWR), plus you'll need the passenger endorsement, then follow it up with a background check to get your school bus endorsement (if you're going to be transporting school children around, they want to make sure you're not a kiddie fondler). For vehicles such as 15 passenger vans, when it comes to transporting school children, the laws on this vary by state - all states will require the school bus endorsement, but some states might let you put it on your Class D, while others might require you to get a chauffeur's license.

You just have to pass to pass the written motorcycle test and the motorcycle road test.The only endorsements which require an additional road test are passenger endorsements (including the school bus endorsement).
