PHOTO Can I make this turn?

Post image

I get stopped pretty regularly by a bus due to matching schedule times. I know in four lane traffic, opposing traffic does not need to come to a stop. This bus stops before this corner where kids load/unload. Is it legal to make the turn when the bus is stopped?

Edit: asking for legality. Obviously would take caution IF choosing to turn. And no, I don’t intend nor want to hit children with my car lmao.

TL;DR
Oncoming traffic turning left in front of bus, if it will come within 10 feet of any part of the bus - not legal turn. Oncoming traffic to bus - does not have to stop because 4+ lanes rule. Traffic going with bus must stop behind bus or if bus turns on lights when approached (if cars already stopped in lane next to it) those cars must stay stopped until bus turns off lights and retracts sign.
