We have to also keep in mind that FIRST teams in schools are a good thing, not a bad thing. We should hope to keep the welcome mat out and firmly in place rather than wear out that welcome. It's up to the team to do its part to work with their school and keep it positive and working towards a support network of faculty and administrators helping the team succeed.e

I come from smaller schools so my experience is different, but generally when academic performance falls, administration may encourage / make students drop clubs until their grades rebound, even if they're not at probationary levels. Teams I've been on also do grade checks and at the very least talk with students when these things happen, possibly encouraging students to miss meetings to make up for work.
