I was training on LRP sector. Data asked for a release for the aircraft. I grabbed the strip from the data controller and called the two adjacent sectors the release would impact (i.e. requesting the block up to 40). I thought I told the data controller to release the aircraft climbing to 40 because the MVA was 36; but I can't really recall; or state factually. The aircraft got airborne; said they were climbing to 30 only. It was immediately noticed and I told the aircraft to ident and climb to 40. The SOP should reflect all airports with MVA's higher than 30 be released at the appropriate altitude.
Harrisburg Tower Developmental Controller reported releasing an aircraft without clearance to the correct Minimum Vectoring Altitude.
