Good afternoon. It’s Friday, Nov. 21. |

In today's newsletter:
-
Anchorage schools have taken in students displaced from Western Alaska villages by Typhoon Halong. One of those schools is working to provide a sense of safety and familiarity for those students, from familiar faces to its Yup’ik language immersion program.
-
State agencies are increasingly failing to comply with state and federal laws, ranging from accounting requirements to procurement rules, Alaska's legislative auditor told lawmakers this week.
-
A task force established by city leaders earlier this year has recommended that a civilian commission provide police oversight in Anchorage.
Heading into the weekend, there's no shortage of things to do around Anchorage. Get a jump on holiday shopping at a market for Alaska-made goods, take in some live music or local theater, or cheer on the UAA basketball team at the annual Great Alaska Shootout.

Anchorage weather
It's overcast today with a high near 34 degrees, and the forecast calls for a wintry mix of precipitation — snow and sleet possibly mixed with freezing rain. Looking ahead to the weekend, we could see partly sunny skies on Saturday before a chance of snow on Sunday. Daytime highs will gradually drop into the mid-20s over the next few days.
Here’s what else is making headlines in Alaska today.
