For the original question,
The NFHS has provided their guidelines in the Rules book, which as stated above is 30 minutes for lightning/thunder. The wording states this is a default policy, use this if your state doesn't provide further guidance.
So it is a state decision what the policy is for high school play if this or other guidelines are used. One county here in NC has given all AD's a lightning detector. If he reports to me that there is lightning too close, I will stop the game. I'll still stop the game on hearing or seeing thunder/lightning, NC policy is to use the 30 minutes.
