- He is a former student of Wagstaff School as shown in a flashback in "Y Tu Ga-Ga Tambien" and in "The Secret Ceramics Room of Secrets" where it was revealed that he was elected seventh grade class secretary after hiding votes for his opponent, Dave Titus, in the secret room. Frond was in seventh grade in 1983, likely being 12 or 13 at the time, suggesting a 1970-71 birthdate. Since the show takes place in the present and most characters remain the same age as they did 2011, he is likely in his mid-50's now.

- In various situations, he never seems to be on good terms with Wagstaff's Principal Spoors or the Superintendent. In "Synchronized Swimming," the school board cuts independent study. In "The Runway Club," Principal Spoors informs Frond of his disapproval to "Scared Fabulous," warning him not to call on the weekends; he most likely did not have the authority from Principal Spoors to have the kids redo the school's mile run, and in "The Frond Files," he mentions to Bob & Linda how he is on thin ice with the superintendent because his "credentials aren't valid in the state."
