The precise "rules of the road" vary from state to state, but in general, you're not required to stop for a school bus with its warning lights if there is an UNPAVED median strip between the lanes of traffic.

You can generally get a free copy of your state's rules by going to the DMV web site for your state.

When i have stopped for a school bus do not pass until the driver signals you to proceed the red lights stop flashing or?

No, you legally should NOT move until the flashers stop and if there is a stop sign on the bus that it has been retracted. It doesn't matter if a bus driver flags you to go... or signals you to go. If those flashers are red or orange---keep your foot solidly on the brake. Go when the flashers and stop-sign end, AND you can see no other dangers, like a kid in the roadway.

When meeting a school bus which has stopped to pick upor dischargechildren you must?

You must stop when a school bus turns on their caution flashers even without a side "stop sign" on the side of the bus. You must wait until all children are safely crossed AND until the bus driver turns off ALL caution lights and retracts the side stop sign mounted to the bus. Even after lights are off, if you see a child on the road, you must stay stopped until all chance of danger is resolved.
