I don't think it as easy as just keeping the bathrooms unlocked. We really need to address the vaping, fights, assaults and vandalism that happens in the bathrooms. Do we just ignore those things? My daughter won't use some bathrooms because of these things happening. And even if bathrooms are open, some students will just sit in stalls to skip, so they aren't available any way.
They need to hire 2-3 times the number of security guards they have at each school. And have consequences.

Or maybe every students has a personal drone that follows them all day and films their actions!
They already have all day monitoring with security cameras that can zoom in on whites of eyes and track individual student movements.

Why don't you explain your idea that protects student privacy and somehow magically avoids these problems
Airport bathrooms often have no outer doors to the corridor, and that seems to work fine.
At Poolesville HS. The bathrooms are individual in rows. Non-sexed with a shared sinks in the hallway area. No easy way for students to congregate in medium to larger groups of 3+ like we see now. Certainly some students can still get up to no good, but it won’t monopolize/abuse the space like we have in larger bathrooms now. I hope all newer high schools get them.
Thye could just accept that some kids will get up to no good and give them a place like a student smoking area like in the old days. Kids who want to do these are going to find a way. May as well accept it and focus on who you can help.
