blackboard

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'equipment for school' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'governors after dark' is the wordplay.
'governors' becomes 'board' (the board is composed of governors in some orgs).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'dark' becomes 'black' (similar in meaning).
'board' put after 'black' is 'BLACKBOARD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blackboard that I've seen before include "something to write on" , "What's written on in the classroom" , "Teaching aid" , "where he might chalk up a win" , "Traditional teacher's aid" .)
