If you're not on school property, then it's legal.

Re: school bus stop cc/oc ok or not
I should add that my boyfriend has told me that he attended a school trip with his daughter while armed. He had the option of either taking the schoolbus with the kids, or driving on his own, like other parents did. He chose to drive, because the bus is school property. The trip was to a pumpkin patch, which wasn't school property, so no laws were broken.

It's right here in the statutes, found at the top of every page...
18 Pa.C.S. § 912: Possession of weapon on school property
(a) Definition.--Notwithstanding the definition of "weapon" in section 907 (relating to possessing instruments of crime), "weapon" for purposes of this section shall include but not be limited to any knife, cutting instrument, cutting tool, nunchuck stick, firearm, shotgun, rifle and any other tool, instrument or implement capable of inflicting serious bodily injury.
(b) Offense defined.--A person commits a misdemeanor of the first degree if he possesses a weapon in the buildings of, on the grounds of, or in any conveyance providing transportation to or from any elementary or secondary publicly-funded educational institution, any elementary or secondary private school licensed by the Department of Education or any elementary or secondary parochial school.
(c) Defense.--It shall be a defense that the weapon is possessed and used in conjunction with a lawful supervised school activity or course or is possessed for other lawful purpose.
Found here... http://reference.pafoa.org/statutes/...hool-property/
.While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.

Here you go;
§ 912. Possession of weapon on school property
(a) Definition.--Notwithstanding the definition of "weapon" in section 907 (relating to possessing instruments of crime), "weapon" for purposes of this section shall include but not be limited to any knife, cutting instrument, cutting tool, nunchuck stick, firearm, shotgun, rifle and any other tool, instrument or implement capable of inflicting serious bodily injury.

(c) Defense.--It shall be a defense that the weapon is possessed and used in conjunction with a lawful supervised school activity or course or is possessed for other lawful purpose
It has been discussed, on here, ad nauseum, that this section applies to your POV.
Be safe (and make your own determination).

Re: school bus stop cc/oc ok or not
I've called my sheriff's office on something similar to this and along with that conversation, I was told that its one of those grey areas of the laws. A school bus is considered school property whereas it falls under the same laws of school property and schools in general, but the stop itself and sidewalk, driveways, etc is not of course.
I drop my child off at his stop as well. I'm about 10-15 feet away from the stop and have my gun in my possession, on me or in my car with me, I would say unless there is a law specifically saying you cannot CC or OC within a certain amount of feet of the bus, your ok.
But my strong suggestion would be to CC instead of OCing and no one will be the wiser. You know how some of these parents can be..especially if they see a someone walking around a school bus stop with a gun on there hip. No need to bring more attention to yourself then necessary when none is due.
Just my 2¢I glock my glock so much.
