A School District of Osceola County investigation completed in December revealed that Celebration High School head football coach Ed Meierkort failed to responsibly account for a team fundraiser that took place during the 2012 season, according to documents obtained in a public records request.

The report also contains statements from an assistant coach and a faculty member that they felt physically threatened by Meierkort during conversations with him.

School athletic director Chris Lavoie also said in the report that Meierkort practiced players who did not have their physical forms on file, and that school principal Dr. Laura Rhinehart ordered a practice to be shut down, and that School Board Chairman Jay Wheeler intervened to acquire doctors to complete those players physicals.

Meierkort, who came to Celebration after 18 years as a college head coach at the University of Wisconsin-Stout and the University of South Dakota, remains the Storms head coach, according to Lavoie. Lavoie said the decision whether to retain Meierkort will be up to Dr. Rhinehart.

Phone messages left with Rhineharts office about Meierkorts status have not been returned.

School district spokesperson Dana Schafer said this investigation is complete and that there are no other matters at the school level that warrant any other investigation.

Meierkort said Monday that he made mistakes in his first year at CHS but that he is committed to staying with the Storm, which was winless under Meierkort last season and has lost a total of 20 straight games since the end of the 2010 season.

I should have been more involved (in the fundraiser record-keeping), Meierkort said. This was our first time through it; well do better next time.

At the heart of this investigation was money that was turned into him by players that he took home and deposited into his personal account. He produced a personal check for $510, the amount the two players gave him, to Celebration High officials two days later.

CHS coach failed to oversee fundraiser, investiagtion says

Osceola County EMS, the countys ambulance agency, has issued a notice to residents about a data breach affecting records of a number of local patients.

Advanced Data Processing, Inc. contract provider Intermedix, which manages billing for the ambulance agency, learned on Oct. 1, 2012 that one of its employees improperly accessed and disclosed certain patient account information in connection with a scheme to file falsified federal tax returns.

Account information accessed included name, date of birth and Social Security number, but no medical information was accessed. The county reported that the company employee accessing these records was apprehended by authorities, was immediately terminated by Intermedix and no longer has access to its systems. The company also thoroughly investigated the matter.

In an attempt to minimize the risk of future data breaches, the company has made more employees aware of this incident, the county said, and the consequences to the individual involved, and has reminded its employees of the importance of maintaining the security and confidentiality of individual records.

Anyone who has reason to believe their information was compromised or misused should contact the Osceola County Sheriffs Offices non-emergency number at 407-348-2222 and file a police report. Sheriffs spokesperson Twis Lizasuain said this week that the office had yet to receive reports of any cases.

Those who think they had a tax return illegally filed using their information, should contact the IRS Service Center 800-908-4490. Each of the nationwide consumer reporting companies is required as part of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to provide consumer with a free copy of their credit report, at their request, once every 12 months.

Customers also may call Advanced Data Processing representatives at 877-264-9622 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. with any questions regarding this matter.
