Teachers Seek Jobs As Kids Head Back To School

(CBS News)

LOS ANGELES - As a high school basketball coach, Jeff Breuklander teaches his players to never give up.

But he's now finding it hard to follow his own advice. He was laid off in May.

"It's based on seniority - when you were hired," Breuklander tells CBS News correspondent Ben Tracy. "I had eight years in this district. I thought that would be enough."

Breuklander was the physical education teacher at Millkin High School in Long Beach, California. He was let go when 750 jobs were cut in his school district.
