That the SPD is the leading party and the CDU is the opposition applies on the federal level, which is irrelevant to public schools that are always ran by the state government.
Federal governments clawing back municipal power and installing allied governors in municipal posts is pretty standard imperialist behavior.
We've seen it in the UK. We've seen it in Texas. We've seen it in Turkey. We've seen it in India. I doubt Germany will be an exception.
I don't see this happening, there's a pretty clear through lineh here where the federal government is more than happy to do policies but offload the entire implementation of those policies into the hands of municipalities who have no resources to actually do it and also never change anything about the municipalities being permanently broke.
It's an insanely well working system for them as they can always just offload whatever failing onto the municipalities and then get credit for doing it, as apparently most people are incapable of more curiosity as to why barring some noteable exceptions basically every local council is a broke ass shitshow and are thusly satisfied with "it's around 11.000 analogous, parallel cases of individual failure"
Yeah, when it comes to other stuff, sure. Education being left to the states to decide over is multipartisan consensus in Germany, tho. It's something especially the CDU is extremely possessive off.
Also, more on topic, this is very in line with the consistent anti-Muslim and especially anti-Palestinian racism shown by Berlin's CDU major and his underlings ever since their last state election. It has ofc ramped up massively during the recent months, but Wegener has always ran on sending hordes of cops after Berlins Arab communities, it was the center point of his electoral campaign to crack down on Muslim communities, his administration has prohibited and shut down a ton of protests voicing support for Palestine, has made it illegal for kids in Berlin's schools to wear a keffiyeh, tried to close down a leftist cultural center merely for inviting Jewish Voice for Peace (an org that opposes Israel's settler colonialism), and also tried to make everybody in Berlin's art and culture scene sign a pro-Zionist declaration as a precondition for any public funding (the last two proposals fortunately failed).
This is very in line with what the city-states current government has been doing ever since it got into office, and it arguably is what won them the election.
