English translation: [a further week] after the one in which the meeting was held

German term or phrase: darin befindend(en)
From the minutes of a parish meeting (1878) in Nebraska, USA: “Darauf wurde bestimmt daß die Schule noch ein Woche nach der darin befindenden abgehalten werden sollte.”

There is no other context to work with here. The previous sentences were about the appointment of cemetery trustees, and the following sentences involve a messy situation between the pastor and a departing member of the congregation.

So, I read this as "After that, it was decided that school should be held for another week after the...?????" The last phrase looks like "being found in it" to me, so makes no sense...

English translation:[a further week] after the one in which the meeting was held
Explanation:
Date of meeting Wednesday 03/07/1878
Summer term originally scheduled to end 05/07/1878
New end of term (and of academic year) 12/07/1878
Because these are minutes, the decision and the new dates are reported in the past tense.

as was decided


Explanation:
It was then determined that the school should be kept open for a week longer than was originally decided therein.

So there was some other document that stipulated a certain time when the school would stop, but the term is now being extended.
