Narrative:
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.
