I am from Kansas and officiate both baseball and football. I graduated in 1986 and often call my alma matter in both sports. The only thing I run into is that the parents of the kids are usually my old classmates and may give me a little "ribbing" during the games. My football crew officiated a district game at my alma matter this season and the announcer announced the crew members over the loud speaker. There really wasn't much response from the crowd.

I am not aware of any length of time before we can officiate our alma matter.

There is no rule in Kansas relating to officiating a game with a school at which you either attended or coached. Some league commissioners will not assign officials to work games for schools when one of the officials is from that town. The state will only not assign you to work a playoff game for a certain school if you asked on your application to not work that school. Some officials are teachers and shouldn't work a game for their school.
