Thanks for everybody's replies, but I still find it contradicting. Read the below comment made in the NFHS editorial change.
Officiating: There is no doubt that a block/charge call is a difficult call to make. Officials should know the location of the defensive players feet to properly call this play. If officials referee the defense, it becomes easier, but it is still quite possible that an official might not see a portion of the defenders foot on the boundary line when contact occurs. Officials aren't expected to do anything beyond what they were doing previously. Referee the defense and call the play as they see it. Its still a judgment call.
They are stating that it is still quite possible that an official might not see a portion of the defender's foot on the boundary line when contact occurs. And officials aren't expected to do anything beyond what they are were doing before. Those 2 statments tell me that it is ok if you have a portion of the foot on the line.
