<upd_detl>The JEs just say "circular notice", but 大辞林 has "告知の文書を付けて，地域の各家庭に回す板。"  That "回す板" is interesting. It's not very common, but it doesn't really fit any of the definitions of either 回す or 板.</upd_detl>

<upd_refs>WWW images. 
ChatGPT dug out the following, which seems pretty accurate:
"In Japan, "kairanban" is a type of bulletin board used in neighborhood associations, schools, or other local organizations to distribute information, notices, or announcements among the members. The documents are usually posted on the board, and each member is expected to read and pass them on to the next person in a circular fashion, hence the name "kairan" (circulation). It is a traditional and widely used means of communication in Japanese communities."</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>Is ChatGPT the only surce for the school thing? I wnt to reiterate I don't think we should ever refer to ChatGPT even when what it outputs seems OK because there's just no way of knowing what's based on facts and what's AI hallucinations.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I'd seen the 会社・町内会など so I thought the schools mention was plausible. I certainly don't mind dropping it if it's contested.</upd_detl>
