my wife is a school teacher and I work games for the district she teaches in. However, I will not work a playoff game that involves that school, but this is a purely personal decision. Many of the officials in my area are from this area and call ball for the schools that they graduated from.

my belief - it is up to individual umpire to make this decision based upon input from his association. Most of us have a pretty good sense of what situations to avoid, use that judgement.
