Ypsilanti Public Schools hired Martin prior to the 2010-11 academic year. Martin previously worked as an administrator at Joy Middle School in Detroit, Oak Park Preparatory Academy and Detroit Technology High School

Martin is the third Ypsilanti Public Schools administrator to be named a finalist in a superintendent search. The district's merger with Willow Run Community Schools has made many employees look for new jobs due to employment uncertainty with the new district.
Superintendent Dedrick Martin is a superintendent finalist in St. Johns Public Schools and Executive Director of Facilities and Operations Scott Snyder is a superintendent finalist in Monroe Public Schools.
Ypsilanti's executive director of human resources, Sharon Irvine, also accepted a new position in March as assistant superintendent and chief human resource officer for Warren Consolidated Schools.
