A school bus endorsement is required in order to transport _________.

Required for applicants to operate a yellow school bus in any state to transport school children grades 12 and under in any state for school sponsored activities (20 questions). Note: This test is also required for a driver to obtain a school bus permit (SBP), which is required for a driver to operate any vehicle on behalf of a school transporting Illinois school children grades 12 and under for curriculum-related activities.
If the driver requires both the S endorsement and the SBP, then only one school bus knowledge test will be required. Note: Neither the S endorsement nor the SBP is required to operate an empty yellow school bus, but a P endorsement is required for any bus designed to transport 16 or more people.
