I work for a church-affiliated preschool, which has a PTO (parent-teacher organization). The PTO raises funds every year for the school, using the church's tax ID number. Recently, the pastor of the church announced that the church will be in control the PTO account and may access that account for church use. Is this against the law?

Even I can't follow Harrell's answer, so I write to clarify. If the PTO is using the church's tax ID and non-profit status to raise funds, they belong to the church. If the PTO wants to control the use of the funds it needs to become its own independent 501c(3) organization with its own tax ID.
