At such key positions as business manager, financial secretary, registrar, career center coordinator, department head, and computer user support specialist, Blair has the same number of positions that a smaller school does, making larger demands on its personnel. The administration and faculty feel that having the same number of personnel as smaller schools at these positions is unfair. There is only one business manager per school, regardless of school size. A business manager's general duties, according to business manager Frank Ifkovits, are to supervise the building services staff, the cafeteria staff, and the financial secretary. Ifkovits supervises 27 people at those positions.
Every school also has one financial assistant to help the business manager.
Blair's financial assistant, Suzy Duong said she has more work than the average assistant because of Blair's size, dealing with more transactions, field trips, and student obligations in keeping accounts for Blair's 2700 students. Unlike other financial secretaries, she also has the added duties of serving as a backup to the principal's secretary and answering calls in the main office. The registrar at Blair must deal with more than twice the number of students than Rockville does. In addition to the number of students, the mobility or turnover rate of students at Blair is higher than the mobility of students at Rockville, according to Jane Bull, registrar of Rockville. There is only one career center coordinator at each school.
