This came from a couple of days ago. So it seems one background check is sufficient.

Guess again.
The "check for each county" thing came from the Florida Dept of Education who at this point is the interpreting authority on this.
Also, each school board we have talked to agrees that a check will be required in each county because that is the language of the statutes involved.
Also, you can't just go the the local sheriff's office to get it done.
There has to be a requesting agency (legal definitions apply) and a controling body (the school boards)
I have seen some email from Dr Stewart but have not seen anything like what you quote.
Sonny Hester, who is the Director of Officials is on the same page we are on with this.
The FHSAA staff won't even be back in town until late next week and some of them are going on vacation instead of coming back to work.
What association are you a part of?
There is a rally of officials associations and elected officials as well as business people meeting next Friday and if you are close enough, you should get an invitation to it.
