I don’t want students to lose support but….

I am really not sure what to do morally and need some advice. I am a special education assistant. I work at a private school but I’m technically hired by and paid by a state run organization. Earlier in the year it was found out that I was not allowed to substitute for teachers by the organization that pays me. However, I can supervise kids doing technology time.

The biggest moral dilemma is that if I tell the organization who pays me, they might cut funding to the school and then kids will get even less support. Title 1 teachers aren’t asked to do this stuff but since I’m a educational assistant they feel fine asking me. (I have other issues with the school I work at, so maybe that is influencing me). I guess I just want advice on if I would be a horrible person for telling the organization about what I actually do at the school.
