[ Abstract ]
Let $\\Gamma$ be a finite-index subgroup of the mapping class
group of a closed genus $g$ surface that contains the Torelli group. For
instance, $\\Gamma$ can be the level $L$ subgroup or the spin mapping class
group. We show that $H_2(\\Gamma;\\Q) \\cong \\Q$ for $g \\geq 5$. A corollary
of this is that the rational Picard groups of the associated finite covers
of the moduli space of curves are equal to $\\Q$. We also prove analogous
results for surface with punctures and boundary components.
