Folks like me weren't told anything one way or another during our league-specific meetings. Right now, the general message at all levels appears to be call what happens.
As for the HS level, the message I've received is the same: If they travel, get it. Just make sure you get the pivot foot and call it properly. An observer I had within the last few years told a group of us it's less likely a HS player will perform the move legally simply because they're not as skilled.

I remember a few years ago, before Arbiter took over the NCAA hubs, that I saw an NCAA-Women's video where they were specifically looking for illegal spin moves to be called a travel. There were several examples shown in the video.
