I'm with the test administrator. FSIQ is pretty meaningless with that big a discrepancy. The test administrator may say that the Verbal IQ is the best estimate of cognitive potential in that case. Don't imagine that the FSIQ is a magic number that means more than it's meant to mean.
Personally, I'd be highly suspicious about any program that wouldn't take subscores, confidence intervals, or the rest of the report into account when making educational decisions. But then, I don't have a dog in this hunt.
