— Ms. Schnur

Ms. Schnur is Principal Spoors' secretary at Wagstaff School. With Spoors gone most of the time, Schnur usually gets stuck watching a child sent to her office. She makes her first appearance in "Broadcast Wagstaff School News."
She is voiced by Sarah Silverman.
Profile[]
Appearance[]
She is a middle-aged woman with a stocky build and short gray hair. She always wears horn-rimmed glasses.
Unlike other characters, she often wears different clothes across different episodes. She frequently switches between a red and blue top and typically wears a navy skirt and dark brown heels. She has a deep, hoarse voice, likely from her age.
Personality[]
Ms. Schnur often comes off as snarky and bored, preferring to do what she feels like doing over her actual work, such as seeing what celebrities look like without makeup ("Thelma & Louise Except Thelma is Linda"). She evidently does not like her boss, Principal Spoors, but knows enough to do the bare minimum at her job. While not outgoing or friendly, the secretary gets along well enough with most kids, notably Louise Belcher and Zeke. Despite seeming gullible, lazy, or uncaring, she appears strangely agile and much faster than she looks at first glance.
When with a student waiting to see the principal, she watches over them, but she almost always gets distracted when she does so. She always falls for when students try and say something to get her out of the office, like telling her that her car's getting towed away ("Broadcast Wagstaff School News"), saying a Brendan Fraser DVD is sitting in a bush outside the school ("The Frond Files"), or even announcing that Penny Marshall is outside and looking a "new best friend" ("Midday Run").
Story[]
Relationships[]
Family[]
Nathan[]
She easily gets distracted if someone brings up Nathan. In "The Fresh Princ-ipal," breaks into the Principal's office after getting her to talk about her nephew.
Coworkers[]
Principal Spoors[]
Schnur seems to have a poor relationship with the principal, she notes to never let her use his private bathroom to her frustration and scoffs at the notion of Spoors being at a "leadership conference" ("The Fresh Princ-ipal").
Phillip Frond[]
Frond often seems frustrated or annoyed with Ms. Schnur, as he finds it difficult to convince her to help out with extra work. He also gets annoyed at how easily students trick her into leaving her office, recognizing obvious lies told by the Belchers such as director Penny Marshall waiting outside to be Ms. Schnur's new best friend ("Midday Run").
Ms. Schnur seems more indifferent to the counselor than other staff members, who generally outright dislike Mr. Frond. She will help him out if asked, although she often does it begrudgingly and only will help after Frond gives her enough freedom to do it her own way.
Wagstaff students[]
The Belcher kids[]
Her primary interactions are with Louise Belcher, as she is frequently in trouble with Principal Spoors or Mr. Frond. Louise knows Ms. Schnur well enough to know what will distract her enough to escape. When Louise gains access to Principal Spoors office, Ms. Schnur is easily convinced to help her run the school when she offers to let her use Spoors's private bathroom ("The Fresh Princ-ipal"). Louise recognizes that while Ms. Schnur can be tricked, she's also quick and is a greater force to reckon with as opposed to Mr. Frond.
Zeke[]
She seems to get along well with Zeke, with the young student cordially addressing her as "girl" like he does with other people ("Thelma & Louise Except Thelma is Linda").
