Sneezes and runny noses are usually caused by irritation of the mucous tissues. The sneeze is intended to blow out any particles and the runny nose is to wash them out. Even if there are no particles and there is just irritation from a cold or flu virus, your body still has the reflective responses trying to keep the airways clear.

Does dust make you sneeze?

Chalk dust can make people sneeze for the same reason regular dust does. What happens is when you breathe in dust, the tiny particles of it get stuck to the mucus coating the inside of your nose. If there's enough dust, it can irritate the mucous membranes inside your nose. When the membrane's irritated, you suddenly feel an intense tickle inside your nose, which triggers your sneeze reflex. When you sneeze, air is forcefully blasted out of your mouth and nose, helping to get rid of what was that made you sneeze.
