Jean Yonemura Wing, a champion of equity in education, and a retired Oakland Unified School District administrator, died March 29. She was 70.
A Berkeley High School graduate, Wing earned her master’s degree in education at UC Berkeley. She dedicated her career to eliminating the education gap, District Superintendent Kyla Johnson-Trammell said, beginning as a parent of a Berkeley High School student, where she served on the school’s diversity project, an effort involving teachers, parents, students and researchers to reduce differences in academic achievement from 1996 to 2002.
