We were told at our State Meeting last night, that if the official sees the blood and stops the game, a time out will not buy their way back into the game. The only way a time out will work is when the player notices the blood and asked for the time out, first. Does that sound right?

That sounds like it's completely contrary to the rules as written. See NFHS casebook play 3.3.6- in that play, the players are directed by the officials to leave the game, but can come right back in by using a TO. That's completely different than what your state was telling you.
Bottom line, as always though, is to do what your state tells you to do. I'd check back on this one though.
