Where I live, no. But I imagine it's determined on a "state-by-state" basis.
Generally, vehicles traveling in the OPPOSITE direction do not need to stop for a loading/unloading school bus on a divided highway.
You should research the driving laws for YOUR state; they may be different.
no. if there is any type of median in between the two side u do not have to stop, but most people do any way. if u dont believe me Google it.
Added: The laws of the various states may be different. In the states that I am familiar with - unless the 4 lane roadway is divided by PHYSICAL BARRIER (i.e.: grassed or treed median or a fence/barrier of some type), over which vehicles cannot drive, you must stop. A paved median would not fulfill this requirement and you would have to stop for the signalling bus.
If those children being unloaded could go across the road, then yes.
Another View: The scenario described in the question defines a "divided" roadway in many (most?) jurisdictions and would not require motorists travelling in the opposite direction to stop. CHECK YOUR OWN STATE LAWS CAREFULLY!
Vehicles must stop in both directions as long as the stop sign on the bus is extended. Otherwise, only your direction is required to stop.
In many (most?) states the median described in the question defines a "divided" highway and the opposing traffic is not required to stop. All state laws are different CHECK YOUR OWN STATE!
depends where the 4 lane highway is to be compleatly honest because different places have different rules
no

No
No.
yes
No.

yes
On a divided highway with a pronounced barrier, no.
No
Yes, you should stop.
al vehicles are to stop
Heavier vehicles and vehicles traveling in combination with other vehicles have
