Whack them against something solid, then throw them into the washing
machine with a load of clothes? <shrugs>

A relative teaches at a school that supplies one cloth per classroom.
To knock the dust out without getting it on her clothes, I guess she'd
have to go outside and find a waist-high wall.
She washes her cloth under running water. It doesn't remove the chalk
very thoroughly and leaves her hands unpleasantly dry.
In my kitchen experience, wringing a microfiber cleaning cloth without
gloves will leave hands uncomfortably dry because these cloths remove
oil so well.
I can't get a microfiber dishcloth very clean under running water. If I
put a little baking soda and detergent in a bowl of water and
repeatedly dip and wring, that works better.
Plain water should work for chalk dust. If a small bucket had a screen
an inch above the bottom, chalk should settle and lie undisturbed,
allowing a chalky microfiber cloth to be dipped and wrung whenever
necessary in the classroom. A wrung microfiber cleaning cloth leaves so
little water that I imagine it would clean a chalkboard without streaking.
I have no experience with chalky microfiber cloths. That's why I asked
what others might think.

These microfibre cloths are useless in the classroom. What's wrong with the
old wooden backed blackboard rubber-outer. They could hit a pupil on the ear
at 20 yards and stop any games one was playing under the desk or any idle
chat. How can a microfibre cloth do that, unless the teacher wrapped it
around a golf ball ?
Perhaps the teacher should take in to class a vacuum cleaner and a vacuum
bag. Placing the cloth in the bag and using the accessories to suck out the
air may remove any dust and keep the cloth in a small package overnight.
If it doesn't work the teacher can remove any attachments and throw them at
naughty children so it won't be an entirely wasted exercise.

In America, chalkboards are made of slate, not rubber-covered wood.
They're too big to throw unless you need to take out a whole row of
rowdy kids.

Your idea sucks. Microfiber cleaning cloths hold dust very well.
Besides, vacuum cleaners are not allowed in American classrooms. Pupils
might wake up out of sorts. They would spoil the learning environment
and could go home tired and cranky, causing complaints from employers.
