    5         (4)(5) The Commissioner of Education, upon request by a
    6  charter school, shall verify that the charter school meets the
    7  criteria in subsection (1) and provide a letter to the charter
    8  school and the sponsor stating that the charter school is a
    9  high-performing charter school pursuant to this section. The
   10  commissioner shall annually determine whether a previously
   11  designated high-performing charter school under subsection (1)
   12  continues to meet the criteria in that subsection. Such high
   13  performing charter school shall maintain its high-performing
   14  status unless the commissioner determines that the charter
   15  school no longer meets the criteria in subsection (1), at which
   16  time the commissioner shall send a letter to the charter school
   17  and its sponsor providing notification that the charter school
   18  no longer meets the criteria for designation of its
   19  declassification as a high-performing charter school.
   20  Notwithstanding subsection (1), an existing high-performing
   21  charter school designated under that subsection may not lose its
   22  high-performing status on the sole basis of receiving a second
   23  school grade of “B” during the previous 3 school years, as long
   24  as the high-performing charter school has received a school
   25  grade of “A” in one of the previous 3 school years.
