More than 15 persons (including the driver) requires a class of CDL appropriate to the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the bus (Class C CDL for 26,000 lbs. GVWR and less; Class B CDL for single vehicles with a GVWR in excess of 26,000 lbs.) and a passenger endorsement. Yes, that includes church buses.
Number of variables here. Any vehicle transporting school children as an official business matter is considered a school bus, so it could be an SUV, or it could be an actual bus.
For vehicles designed to transport 15 persons or less (including the driver), such as a 15 passenger van, laws will vary by state. Some states will only require the regular drivers license and allow a school bus endorsement to be placed on that license, while others may have a chauffeur license system in place.
A bus designed to transport more than 15 persons (including the driver) requires a CDL with passenger endorsement (the school bus endorsement specifically for school buses). If the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of such a vehicle is 26,000 lbs. or less, a Class C CDL would be required (not to be confused with a regular Class C license)... if the GVWR exceeds 26,000 lbs., a Class B CDL is required.
It depends where you want to work, i am sure schools would not want class c drivers hired

What can you drive with a school bus CDL in Pennsylvania?
There is no "school bus CDL". You either have a Class C or Class B CDL with a school bus endorsement. A Class C, you can drive any bus under 26,001 lbs. GVWR. If you get a hazmat endorsement, you can transport hazardous materials in any vehicle 26,000 lbs. GVWR or less. If you have a Class B, technically, you can drive any single vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of more than 26,000 lbs, but you're not going to get hired to drive a Class 8 with an unsynchronized manual transmission without any experience.
